"A fiery and dramatic novel, starring one of mythology's most notorious women." – Jennifer Saint, internationally bestselling author of Ariadne and Atalanta. For readers of Costanza Casati and Circe comes a Medea like you've never known her before—a woman with improbable skill and the fiercest heart, held back by men who could never dream to deserve her. A disgraced daughter. A fearsome witch. A woman more myth than mortal. Medea, princess of Colchis, longs for a different life. Since childhood, she has been shunned from her family, tormented by her people, and treated with shame. All because of a unique and dangerous talent: witchcraft. But when a dashing young hero, Jason, arrives to claim the famed Golden Fleece, Medea sees her opportunity for escape. Her offer to help Jason sets in motion a journey that will test every ounce of strength, magic, and loyalty she has. A journey that will see her battle monsters, dethrone kings, and confront a love more brutal than any before. A journey that will ultimately end in betrayal, bloodshed, and a dark power impossible to forget.
