Dance of Thieves Sneak Peek by Mary E. Pearson

These three teenage descendants of Medusa, the once-beautiful Gorgon maligned in myth, must reunite and embrace their fates in this unique paranormal world where monsters lurk in plain sight. But that all tilts sideways when two girls who look eerily like her appear on her doorstep and claim they’re triplets, supernatural descendants of some hideous creature from Greek myth, destined to spend their lives hunting monsters. Greer has her life pretty well put together, thank you very much.

She never expected to run into this girl who could be her double, though. Gretchen is tired of monsters pulling her out into the wee hours, especially on a school night, but what can she do? Sending the minotaur back to his bleak home is just another notch on her combat belt. And even more shocking when a girl who looks just like her shows up to fight the monster. It gets scarier when a minotaur walks in the door. The change is full of fresh possibilities, but it’s also a tiny bit scary. Grace just moved to San Francisco and is excited to start over at a new school. Widdershins and Olgun are going to find answers, and justice, for what happened to her-but only if those who almost destroyed her in those years gone by don't finish the job first. And something horrid, something dark, something ancient is reaching out for her, a past that refuses to let her go. It's not a great life, certainly nothing compared to the one she once had, but it's hers.īut now, in the midst of Davillon's political turmoil, an array of hands are once again rising up against her, prepared to tear down all that she's built. Today she is Widdershins, a thief making her way through Davillon's underbelly with a sharp blade, a sharper wit, and the mystical aid of Olgun, a foreign god with no other worshippers but Widdershins herself. Until one horrid night, when a conspiracy of forces-human and other-stole it all away in a flurry of blood and murder. An orphan of Davillon, she had somehow escaped destitution and climbed to the ranks of the city's aristocracy in a rags-to-riches story straight from an ancient fairy tale.
