Crown of Serpents: Greek Mythology Meets Romantasy (Curse of Olympus Book 1)

She is not the monster he was sent to kill—and that might be the most dangerous thing of all.

In this lush Greek mythology romantasy, Medusa has one purpose driving her forward: vengeance against the gods who cursed, abused, and discarded her. She is done being a cautionary tale. Perseus, meanwhile, is running out of options. With his mother held captive by the ruthless King Polydectes, slaying the infamous Gorgon seems like his only path to saving her—a straightforward mission with a clear objective. Until he actually finds her.

The woman staring back at Perseus is sharp-tongued, furious, and unmistakably alive in a way he never anticipated. He can't bring himself to deliver the killing blow, so he does the next worst thing: he takes her prisoner. It's a decision that earns him Poseidon's wrath, Medusa's absolute contempt, and absolutely nothing resembling peace.

Forced into an uneasy alliance against enemies far more powerful than either of them, Perseus and Medusa must navigate ancient grudges, simmering tension, and the terrifying possibility that the monster and the hero might actually need each other. Female rage crackles through every page of this high-stakes adventure, where the line between enemy and ally blurs dangerously—and Olympus itself trembles in the distance.

If the gods think they've already written this story's ending, they've never met Medusa at her most defiant.
