Mary Watson recommends

Hidden Treasure (2025)
Jessie Burton
"This book is a beautiful excavation, uncovering the girl beneath the gorgon, the power within the punished. Exquisitely told, Medusa stole my heart from its first fierce lines."

Daughter of Darkness (2022)
(House of Shadows , book 1)
Katharine and Elizabeth Corr
"Everything I want in a fantasy and more."

Her Dark Wings (2022)
