Synopsis

The most beautiful gorgon in legend. A blind thief with everything to lose . . . It's going to be a heist to remember.

Medusa rules her media empire from behind the safety of a thousand screens, and she has her own private sculpture garden of dumb ass humans that have tried to cross her.

Perseus's lousy day has gone from bad to worse. Trying to go legit after a career of thieving is hard in a city like Styx, but when his baby sister Dany is kidnapped by a gang demanding he does one last job for them, he's got no choice but to get back in the game.

To save Dany, he's going to have to break into Serpentine Tower and steal a necklace from Medusa, the only token in the world that protects its wearer against her deadly gaze.

Medusa doesn't like people touching her things, and she's got the perfect spot in her garden for a statue of a sexy thief.

Contains mature themes.

She thinks heroes are boring, so her first series, the Court of the Underworld, centers around dark gods, monsters, and villains from her favorite Greek myths.
