?* A Marie Claire Best Book of 2026 *?
Exiled daughter, abandoned wife, vengeful mother. But is that where the truth lies? This is the story of Medea as you ve never heard it before.
Jason and his Argonauts set sail to find the Golden Fleece. The journey is filled with danger, and if Jason ever reaches the distant land he seeks, he faces almost certain death.
Medea priestess, witch, and daughter of the brutal king who jealously guards the fleece has the power to save Jason's life. Will she betray her family and her home?
Burning with desire for this stranger, as the gods intend, Medea chooses Jason over her kin. But their love is steeped in vengeance from the beginning, and no one not even those closest to them will be safe when their passion is spent . . .
Based on the classic tragedy by Euripides, this is Medea as you ve never seen her before . . .
