I, Medusa

Meddy has spent her life in the shadow of others. Surrounded by beautiful, immortal sisters and parents who are gods, she has always felt like an afterthought, longing for a life beyond her family’s remote island.

Then Athena, goddess of wisdom, notices her and offers her the chance she has been waiting for: to train as a priestess in her temple. In the bustling streets of Athens and the secret chambers of the temple, Meddy discovers a sense of purpose, belonging, and power. But when another Olympian takes an interest in her, everything changes.

Punished for a crime she did not commit, Meddy is transformed. Her hair becomes a nest of snakes, and the girl she once was seems to disappear beneath a terrifying new identity: Medusa.

But Medusa refuses to become a victim of the gods’ cruelty. Instead, she embraces her transformation and sets out to write her own story, as mortal, martyr, and myth.

Fierce, heartbreaking, and filled with love and rage, I, Medusa is a powerful reimagining of one of mythology’s most enduring figures, asking what happens when a young woman finally refuses to let others decide who she is.
