In the time of gods and goddesses, mighty heroes and hellish beasts, the house of Phorcys is notorious for its fearsome monsters, from Ladon the hundred-headed serpent, to the withered crones known as the Gray Ones.

To the suitors coming to win Medusa's hand in marriage, there is nothing monstrous about her.

5/5 Amazon. ***(may contain spoilers)*** "So many Gods, so much power, so much turmoil. This book was really good. It tied up a lot of loose ends and unanswered questions. Lina frustrated the hell out of me when she internalized and didn't confide in Will about her powers and the others inside her. I also got irritated when she went to the island by herself. It just didn't make any sense. She ended up putting herself in harms way and almost lost it all. There was so much going on in the book with new births, new relationships, battles and all the gods. I have to say I expected more of Lina to be present after everything that happened but she seemed to put down the human part of her more and more. Then here comes Herocles and his deceitful self.
