Medusa’s Cause

About the Book

Love is immeasurable…

On an isolated cape high above a churning sea, a mysterious young woman of enchanting beauty enters a lonely temple. Lulled there by inconceivable desire, it is a clandestine meeting that will forever alter her fate. Wishing only to capture the love of a god, she instead commits a grievous act of sin against an angry goddess and sets in motion a chain of events that not only tears her world apart, but those that love her as well...

In a world ruled by men, and explained by myth, two brave sisters must break the rules and embark on a perilous journey. Divided by difference, yet united by a singular cause, they must go out into a world that is at once cruel and capricious; a world which often views and treats women as being no better than slaves…

It is a journey that will take them across the width and breadth of ancient Greece. From the highest of mountains, to the deepest of valleys; to the most fabled of lands where myths come to life and futures are told, and finally, to the dark confines of the Underworld itself in search of answers. It is a journey that will see them pitted against unforeseen challenges and dangers, and at times against each other. But as their journey of struggle and discovery unfolds, something unusual begins to take shape, and the question of what happened to their sister is invariably replaced with one of a much deeper meaning…

How far would you go to save the soul of someone you love?

About the Author

Writing novels has long been a life’s ambition for Mr. Zimmerman. Attempting to write his very first novel at the tender age of thirteen proved to be somewhat of a traumatic experience as he could not find a suitable ending. Passionate about art and history from the time he could read, and in particular ancient Greece, it has always been his dream to parlay that passion into writing novels. To write his first “grown up” novel Medusa’s Cause, Mr. Zimmerman spent a total of six months visiting Greece touring museums, archaeological sites, and as he says, “just eating, living, sleeping, breathing Greece.” He is currently at work on two trilogies pertaining to the subject. Under The Spell of Eros is the second book in his Greek Mythos Trilogy. Mr. Zimmerman currently resides in Toronto, Canada.
