AnaRose and Medusa's Curse by Mary Ann Bernal - Finalist - The 2025 SEA Shorts for Short Stories, Essays, and Novellas

  

A Legendary Pendant. A Forgotten Curse. A Race Against Time.

When relic hunter Miles Bordel calls AnaRose Preston for help, she knows trouble isn’t far behind. This time, it’s personal — and deadly. A nationalist cult bent on restoring ancient Greece to its former glory is hunting the Medusa pendant, said to petrify anyone who meets its cursed gaze.

AnaRose and Miles find the pendant, but it’s stolen before they can secure it. Now the cult is after its missing ruby eyes, hidden somewhere along the Aegean coast. From sunken ruins to mountaintop shrines, AnaRose must follow the clues, dodge assassins, and stop a plan that could turn ancient superstition into modern terror.

The danger is real. The curse may be, too.

She answered a call for help. Now she’s fighting to ensure the past stays buried. Grab your copy of AnaRose and Medusa’s Curse and chase a secret some still fear to face.
