The Shadow of Perseus by Claire Haywood

A compelling feminist retelling of the myth of Perseus told from the perspectives of the women who knew him best.

Myth remembers Perseus as one of its greatest heroes. A slayer of monsters. A rescuer of damsels.

But the women who knew him best have a different story to tell. His mother, Danae. His trophy, Medusa.

His wife, Andromeda. As Perseus becomes obsessed with the promise of his own destiny, his heroic journey casts a shadow of violence and destruction across all three women's lives. It takes strength to survive a legend.

Perfect for fans of Jennifer Saint, Elodie Harper and Natalie Haynes
