Mythological Fantasy

I, Medusa

by Ayana Gray

Medusa's origin story reimagined: a footnote daughter of minor gods who dreams of adventure beyond her family's island prison. When Athena offers her an escape, Meddy discovers the price of divine attention and the power of her own monstrous transformation. A feminist retelling that centers the gorgon's voice in a tale that has silenced her for millennia.
