The Medusa Chronicles charts Falcon’s journey through the centuries granted by his new body, but always back to mysteries of Jupiter and the changing interaction between humanity and the universe.

Book Description
Sevannah Summers is a simple girl, ready to begin her adult life. Torn between two incredibly enchanting men, her heart and mind wrestle over the man who allows her to explore her desires, and the other tantalizingly irresistible man who makes her pulse race with longing, but she can't figure out if he wants her as well. On top of everything else, she learns that the Greek myths are actually real, and she's about to be thrown headfirst into an exciting, mind-blowing life she wasn't prepared for. Medusa, the woman-turned-monster, twice scorned by the gods, was given a prophecy eons ago to help enact her revenge on the gods that mocked her. Under Medusa's protection and patronage, and joined by her best friend Emmaleigh Emerson, Sevannah must help Medusa rescue the daughter of Hecate, and the three women must create a covenant that will unlock the secret of the amulets and unleash their full potential, while learning how to bring the arrogant and deceptive gods to their knees.

And as the passion seems to be slipping from Sevannah's relationship with Philip, she wonders if the two of them were truly meant to be. Meanwhile, Danny has seemingly given up on her altogether.

Book Description
With her repulsive face and head full of living, venomous snakes, Medusa is petrifying—quite literally, since looking directly at her turned people to stone. Ever since Perseus cut off her head and presented it to Athena, she has been a woman of many forms: a dangerous female monster that had to be destroyed, an erotic power that could annihilate men, and, thanks to Freud, a woman whose hair was a nest of terrifying penises that signaled castration. She has been immortalized by artists from Leonardo da Vinci to Salvador Dalí and was the emblem of the Jacobins after the French Revolution. Today, she’s viewed by feminists as a noble victim of patriarchy and used by Versace in the designer’s logo for men’s underwear, haute couture, and exotic dinnerware. She even gives her name to a sushi roll on a Disney resort menu. Why does Medusa continue to have this power to transfix us? David Leeming seeks to answer this question in Medusa, a biography of the mythical creature. Searching for the origins of Medusa’s myth in cultures that predate ancient Greece, Leeming explores how and why the mythical figure of the gorgon has become one of the most important and enduring ideas in human history. From an oil painting by Caravaggio to Clash of the Titans and Dungeons and Dragons, he delves into the many depictions of Medusa, ultimately revealing that her story is a cultural dream that continues to change and develop with each new era. Asking what the evolution of the Medusa myth discloses about our culture and ourselves, this book paints an illuminating portrait of a woman who has never ceased to enthrall.
