Description

Perseus as one of its greatest heroes. A slayer of monsters. A rescuer of damsels.

But the women who knew him best have a different story to tell. His mother, Danae. His trophy, Medusa.

His wife, Andromeda. As Perseus becomes obsessed with the promise of his own destiny, his heroic journey casts a shadow of violence and destruction across all three women's lives. It takes strength to survive a legend.

Perfect for fans of Jennifer Saint, Elodie Harper and Natalie Haynes, author of Daughters of Sparta Claire Heywood returns with an imaginative reinterpretation of the myth of the great hero Perseus, bringing to life the voices of three women who are side-lined in the traditional version, and whose stories reveal a man who might not, in fact, be a hero at all.
