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. 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. But when faced with the ultimate betrayal, Medea is driven to an act of desperation so brutal it rips apart the lives of everyone involved...

Medea

Paige Leitner

'And I also know how they will tell this story. It is the same for any woman who defies their place in this world. Jason will be the hero, and you? They'll either make you his adoring, lovesick damsel or they'll make you the villain. Those are the only roles they feel comfortable with us occupying.'

I know there is a version of myself that could have been happy here. Living a quiet existence beside my aunt, filling our days with magic and nature, relishing Aeaea's solitude. But that Medea would never have met Jason, never allowed her dreams to broaden, never tasted what it feels like to truly 

This life would have been enough for her only because she knew of no other. 

The women of Corinth ogle Jason. He is still deemed a valiant hero in their eyes- yet his victories were born from the same bloodshed that makes me a villain.
