SUMMARY:A Court of Romantasy Readers: I\, Medusa by Ayana Gray
DESCRIPTION:Please pick up a copy of the book at the hosting branch or bring your own copy.\n\nCopies are available starting June 4th\, while supplies last.\n\nCalling all fans of fiery romance and fantastical worlds! Join us for a Spicy book discussion group dedicated to the sizzling genre of romantasy—where passion meets magic and legend. This month\, we’re diving into I\, Medusa by Ayana Gray—a provocative reimagining of one the most iconic monsters in Greek mythology as a provocative and powerful young heroine. For ages 18+\n\n"Meddy has spent her whole life as a footnote in someone else’s story. Out of place next to her beautiful\, immortal sisters and her parents—both gods\, albeit minor ones—she dreams of leaving her family’s island for a life of adventure. So when she catches the eye of the goddess Athena\, who invites her to train as an esteemed priestess in her temple\, Meddy leaps at the chance to see the world beyond her home.\n\nIn the colorful market streets of Athens and the clandestine chambers of the temple\, Meddy flourishes in her role as Athena’s favored acolyte\, getting her first tastes of purpose and power. But when she is noticed by another Olympian\, Poseidon\, the course of Meddy’s promising future is suddenly and irrevocably altered.\n\nWhen her locs are transformed into snakes as punishment for a crime she did not commit\, Medusa must embrace a new identity—not as a victim\, but as a vigilante—and with it\, the chance to write her own story as mortal\, martyr\, and myth.\n\nExploding with rage\, heartbreak\, and love\, I\, Medusa portrays a young woman caught in the crosscurrents between her heart’s deepest desires and the cruel\, careless games the Olympian gods play."\n\nSearch for additional formats of this title at stchlibrary.org
