From an unmissable new voice comes the powerful and epic story of mythology's darkest heroine.
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...

Powerful Tale of Love and Vengeance
Rosie Hewlett has created a captivating retelling of Greek Mythological Scorcerer Medea and her love Jason. This magical yet dark tale of love and vengeance gripped me from start to finish. Although I knew of Jason and the Argonauts, I had little knowledge of Medea. This novel was beautifully written poetic and powerful with amazing character descriptions throughout.
Dark heroine or wicked witch, Medea's story has been told in the finest way possible.
The narration by Kristin Atherton was spell binding and utterly addictive.
Highly recommended- 5 star all the way.
