From Little Stack
For millennia, the name of Medea was synonymous with conniving and dangerous women. Depicted in most Greek mythology as a witch or high priestess of the goddess Hecate, she married Jason, leader of the Argonauts, then killed their children after he tried to abandon her. Rosie Hewlett's reimagining of her story delves into her life as an outcast whose relationship with Jason starts out as an escape from her abusive home. It’s thanks to her powers that Jason is able to become a legendary hero. But when she tries to reclaim her power after Jason's betrayal, her choices will prove unforgivable to many.
Shunned. Persecuted. Tormented.
Medea longs for a different life. Since childhood, she has been separated from her sister, shunned by her mother, and persecuted and tormented by her brother and father. All because of a unique and dangerous talent: witchcraft.
Fierce. Powerful. Sorceress.
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. Her offer to help Jason overcome the trials set by her father 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.
When faced with the ultimate betrayal, Medea is driven to an act of desperation so brutal it rips apart the lives of everyone involved...
