Ari, a descendant of Medusa, must rescue her father and friends from malevolent Athena. To that end Ari draws upon her wits and developing Gorgon powers, as well as information gained through her connections in paranormal New Orleans society. As in Darkness Becomes Her, the role-reversal of Medusa and Athena is intriguing, but Greek mythology makes an awkward pairing with entities such as witches and vampires.
