Stone Blind

Medusa is the mortal youngest sister of the Gorgons, immortal and winged, who raise her on the shore of Libya. She is quiet and beautiful and unafraid of anyone, until Poseidon assaults her in a temple of Athene and the goddess punishes her instead of him.

Cursed so that nothing can look at her and live, she lives on in exile, until the hero Perseus is sent to find her. Natalie Haynes retells the myth of Medusa from the point of view of the one who has always been called the monster.
