own of epents
Lara Reed
Can their love withstand the wrath of the gods?
Medusa wants only one thing: revenge against the gods who abused and shunned her. Perseus would do anything to save his family from King Polydectes, the tyrant ruling his home – even slaying the infamous monster in exchange for his mother’s freedom. Yet, when the hero and the gorgon collide, it remains unclear whether they will tear each other apart or become unlikely allies – powerful enough to challenge even Olympus.
„I have never murdered an innocent man.“
– Medusa

„Ancient Greek mythology meets Modern Romantasy in this spin on Perseus’ story, complete with delicious godling-witchling vibes, female rage and empowerment, and maritime adventure. Not to mention the gods interference for better or worse.
I re-read Perseus’ original mythology before this book just to appreciate the twists and turns even more.“

„A retelling like no other – Crown of Serpents will take you on an epic journey of healing, love, destiny and most importantly one woman’s journey to finding herself.
Lara Reed’s first novel will bring you the story told from a different perspective: one where Medusa finds that female rage is an acceptable reaction to wrongful persecution and learns to love herself despite others’ hateful actions. And maybe someone else will also learn to love her as she is, instead of trying to change her like everyone else…“

„There is action from the very first chapter, which hooks you in immediately. The story is well written, and moves along at a good pace, with beautifully-done world-building and character introductions. There are side quests, foiled plans, and plot twists that keep you constantly guessing and wondering how it’s all going to work out. I had a hard time putting the book down, it was truly that enjoyable.“
