The Shadow of Perseus

By Claire Heywood

Myth remembers 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.
