The deadliest snakes have the prettiest of skins...
The youngest sister in a coven of gorgons, Medusa spends her youth training to be a devout priestess, content with a life that will one day give her purpose.
Until one horrific night...
Enraged by an act of betrayal, the goddess Athena grants Medusa an ability that no gorgon has had before: to be able to transform between mortal and gorgon.
But it's more curse than blessing. Medusa's sisters now crave her gift and will stop at nothing to obtain it.
Years later, Medusa has sought shelter in the mortal city of Iydara, forsaking her beliefs for protection from a cruel, bloodthirsty mage known as The Collectress. But her safety is soon threatened when she is framed for transforming her statues into frightening, murderous creatures known as golems.
Medusa soon finds herself vengefully fighting back against a magic so ancient and dark that it threatens to tear down the fragile life she has built for herself...
