The Blind Offering to Medusa
On her eighteenth birthday, blind Elodie receives a cruel gift: her village sacrifices her to Medusa, the terrifying Gorgon whose gaze turns men to stone. But instead of killing her, Medusa punishes those who dared to insult her and claims Elodie as her bride. Elodie had entered the temple with a dangerous bargain: steal the Serpent Heart, and Poseidon would save her dying brother. Yet the monster she was sent to deceive reveals a possessive side that gradually blossoms into a love neither woman can escape. Then Poseidon unveils the devastating truth: the Serpent Heart is bound to Medusa's life, and if Elodie fails, both her brother and her entire village will pay the price. Now, to save the woman she was sent to betray, Elodie must face an impossible task—doing what no mortal has ever survived: killing a goddess.
