BLURB:

Medusa, the snake headed gorgon. Most people know her name, some know the myth. Her gaze turns men to stone. But what if there is more to it? What if it was meant literally? What if her gaze turned only men to stone?

For centuries, Medusa’s shadow has loomed over the kingdom. King after king sending in men to vanquish her, but none succeed. One day, the current king decides to send in a woman.

Andromeda wins the king’s competition of archery and swordsmanship, and is offered the job. If she kills Medusa, and brings the head back to the king as proof, she and her family will be taken care of for the rest of their lives.

It is still a risk. When she gets there, the gaze of Medusa does not turn her to stone, but things are not as black and white as they seem. And the king may be lying to her about his motivations.
