Phano is a fourteen-year-old Athenian whose future as a citizen and a wife is threatened because of her questionable birth. Pursued by a man who claims she is his slave, Phano makes one escape after another in this overlong novel. The details of everyday life in ancient Greece and the Athenians' justice system, however, are interesting.

Plagued by nightmares of snakes, Dusa agrees to be a research subject for the Gordon sisters, a doctor and psychologist. But when she arrives on their remote Greek island and discovers that she is the only patient, Dusa becomes suspicious. Although shifts in point of view sometimes break the reader's identification with Dusa, Galloway successfully brings elements of the mythological story of Medusa into a modern-day setting.
