Gran conocedora del mundo antiguo, Natalie Haynes lleva años acercando en sus novelas los mitos clásicos a cientos de miles de personas desde una perspectiva contemporánea. Esta vez le toca el turno a Medusa, la única mortal en una familia de dioses, la Gorgona con serpientes en lugar de pelo cuya mirada podía convertir en piedra a un ser vivo y que sería decapitada por Perseo. Así es como la leyenda nos ha llegado hasta hoy, pero ¿qué pasaría, se pregunta Haynes, si todo lo que se ha dicho hasta ahora sobre ella estuviera equivocado?

Wall of Hadrian, Britannia, AD 367. Tribune Sixtus Victorinus is scouting north of the Wall when he first sees the smoke. Riding south he finds a province in chaos, the local populace in flight, the soldiers absent. Britannia is ablaze, overrun with barbarians and Valentia is the word on everyone’s lips. But no one seems to have the first clue what it means... Victorinus may have let his life run to ruin and drunk his youth away, but now he must forge himself into the soldier he always wanted to be, the hero his children think he is.
