What if the monsters of legend could be humanity's greatest protectors? What if the woman cursed to turn men to stone became the one thing standing between us and annihilation? When missiles meet magic and tanks face titans, which force proves mightier-modern technology or ancient powers? Can love survive when a single glance means death? - Humanity's salvation lies not in the future-but in the ancient past. Cursed, forsaken and hunted, Medusa lives in exile, her name whispered in fear. Branded a monster and forced into solitude, she has long abandoned hope of redemption-or connection. She survives, but without purpose. Desperate to save a crumbling world, the U.S. Army's Strategic Recruitment Battalion journeys back in time to 1400 BCE, seeking powerful allies from myths-and finds Medusa, a legend forged in pain and fury. Thrust into a war between gods and mortals, Medusa confronts the fractures within herself: the misery of loneliness, the hunger for meaning, and a yearning for something more than survival. For the first time, she begins to hope-not just for herself, but also for others. But the gods are watching. And one is prepared to destroy everything-past and future-to keep the ancient order intact. As divine wrath collides with modern warfare in a tale of power, identity, and love, Medusa fights to reclaim her story from the hands of fate.
