Book Description

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.

Publishing Info

The Beauty Within was Heather Holland's first published work. Released in September 2003, this short story created quite a stir when it was discovered the heroine was a rather most unlikely character--Medusa. Heather had always felt Medusa got the short end of the stick and was determined to find a way for her to get the happy ending she deserved. The end result was the Ellora's Cave quickie, The Beauty Within.
