Book Launch: Hannah Lynn | Athena’s Child
Thursday 28th September | Maldon Books | 7PM
Come and celebrate the launch of Hannah Lynn’s latest novel, Athena’s Child, at our bookshop this September!
About Athena’s Child…
The story of the most infamous monster of Greek mythology: Medusa.
First, they loved her. Then, they abused her.
Finally, they made her a villain. Gifted and burdened with stunning beauty, young Medusa seeks sanctuary with the Goddess Athena. But when she catches the eye of the lecherous but mighty Poseidon, she is beyond protection.
Powerful men rarely answer for their actions, after all. Meanwhile, Perseus embarks on a seemingly impossible quest, equipped with only bravado and determination… Medusa and Perseus soon become pawns of spiteful and selfish gods.
Faced with the repercussions of Athena’s wrath, blamed for her assault, Medusa has no choice but to flee and hide. But can she do so without becoming the monster they say she is?Medusa’s truth has long been lost. History tells of conquering heroes, of men with hearts of gold.
Now it is time to hear the story of how history treats women who don’t comply.
