English Summary/英文概要： Life on Perseus’s island of Serifos hangs in a precarious state of balance - the legacy of war - but his own routines are relaxed and calm. However, a beautiful stranger arrives and shatters the peace for everyone. Perseus is smitten, but others are suspicious, for Andromeda has a unique and potentially powerful gift. But she also has a harsh destiny to fulfil. She must die to save her people, and a stunning, word-changing discovery will die with her - unless Perseus abandons all his beliefs to confront the horror of the Medusa quest. In a mesmerising novel which combines Ann Halam’s own skilful blend of magic realism with the rich otherwordly power of a favourite Greek myth, this is a story of hope and survival, and the sheer determination of two young people against all the odds.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Perseus（希腊神话中宙斯和戴纳之子，也是个英雄）所在的Serifos岛屿正陷入了危难之中，但他自己仍旧保持着冷静的情绪，生活习惯如往常悠闲自在。然而，一位拥有美丽外表的外来者Andromeda的到来，打破了人们的平静生活。Perseus 对她一见钟情，但岛上的其他人对她仍有所怀疑，Andromeda（希腊神话中Cassiopeia之女，为安抚海怪，被当成祭物缚于岩石上）的才能十分出众，而且具有不可估计的潜在能力。但她要接受自己悲惨的命运。她必须为了解救她的人民而死，一个惊天的大秘密也会随着她的死而消逝掉——除非Perseus放弃自己所有的信守准则，面对Medusa（希腊神话中三位蛇发女怪高尔根中的一位）的盘问。在这本迷人的小说中，作者Ann Halam纯熟的将科幻写实主义与最受喜爱的希腊神话中丰富多彩的超能力神话故事融汇在一起，表现了追求希望和热爱生命的主题，和两个年轻人与怪物作战的必胜决心。
