Every stupid thing anyone has ever done has been done for power, or love ... or love of power. The Gods are no exception. Athena has been told by the Fates that humanity is on the brink of extinction. Unbelieving in magic or gods, the insidious fear within the humans will drive them to their demise. Only a priestess sent by the Gods can save them. Prometheus, creator of the humans and bearer of foresight, is adamant that sending the priestess to Earth will cause more harm than good. He has no intention of aiding the goddesses' plan; Fates be damned. He also has no intention of falling in love. When he steals white fire, a symbol of the Gods' knowledge, and gives it to the priestess ... the Fates align. Humanity will never be the same again. A new era will begin. But at what cost to those involved? A modern retelling of Greek mythology, Prometheus' Priestess is an epic fantasy romance to rival Romeo & Juliet.

The truths that she has held for so long are slowly unravelling. When she finds herself in the underbelly of the town, she realises just how little she truly knows. And she's forced to question beliefs about her blood that have defined her - until now. Are we really made out of the strength of our convictions? Or are we made out of the opinions of others? Sometimes it takes a while for the truth to come out... Lies. Secrets. A long-lost lineage. Redemption. This is a spicy Medusa retelling in the Greek mythology realm like no other. Gwyneth Lesley's "Madonna" is the third standalone novel in the Femme Fatale series, retelling the myth of Medusa through the eyes of her long-lost descendant. The bloodline may be watered down, but the curse - like all family trauma - remains. "Madonna" is a modern-day Greek mythology retelling containing themes of sexual assault [of a minor], familial and narcissistic abuse, revenge pornography, victim blaming and shaming, themes of grooming, and emotional manipulation.
