520 |a Banished from her homeland thanks to a prophecy foretelling that her unborn child will one day cause the death of her father, the king of Argos, Danae finds herself stranded, pregnant, and alone in a remote fishing village-- forging a new life for her young son Perseus will be the hardest thing she has ever done. As a member of the Gorgons, a reclusive band of women who live deep in the woods, Medusa eschews contact with the outside world- until the day she finds an injured boy named Perseus in the forest. When her nomadic desert tribe's way of life is threatened, Andromeda knows that a sacrifice will be required to appease the gods-- until Perseus interferes and sets her life on a new path.As Perseus casts a shadow of violence and destruction across all three women's lives, reclaiming their voices is their only hope for lifting themselves into a better future. -- adapted from jacket
