Publisher’s Summary
Medea was destined for power. What she got was revenge.
Medea, daughter of King Aeetes of Colchis, longs for a different life. Since childhood, she has been separated from her sister, shunned by her mother, and beaten and tormented by her brother and father. All because Medea was born with a unique and seemingly dangerous talent: witchcraft.
But when a dashing young hero, Jason, arrives to claim the famed Golden Fleece that her father fiercely protects, Medea sees her opportunity for escape. In offering to help Jason overcome the obstacles that stand between him and his prize in return for taking her away from Colchis, she sets in motion a journey that will test every ounce of her strength, magic and loyalty; a journey that will see her battle monsters, dethrone kings and fall in love with a man who is not the hero we all know from story; a journey that will inevitably end in betrayal and bloodshed.
