The Beauty Within Blurb
Medusa, a beautiful Greek maiden, fell into company with the wrong man—a god in disguise—and because of his seduction, she lost everything she’d ever known. Cursed to spend an eternity alone, with the stark reminder of her punishment surrounding her until a lone man stumbles upon the sandy shore.
Theron lives by sheer strength of will and intervention from the goddess Hera herself. Stranded upon a nameless isle without his sight, he figures himself surely doomed when he hears an enchanting voice.
The woman with whom he speaks calls herself Thais, but somewhere in the back of his mind a niggling suspicion plays at his mind for he knew the area in which his ship sailed. One of these islands was haunted by a monster so hideous she turned all to stone on sight. Now he must overcome his fears and save her from her heart of stone.
