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...

Commentaires

A fiery and dramatic novel, starring one of mythology's most notorious women, this is a fascinating descent into darkness
So delightfully devastating! A deeply humanising, visceral portrayal of one of myth’s most controversial figures, Rosie Hewlett's Medea explores the polarising possibilities of humanity, from our capacity for pain and heartbreak to our potential for vengeance and retribution
An incredible tale of love and power as spellbinding and complex as Medea herself
Deliciously dark in its portrayal of obsession, manipulation and the terrible temptations of power, Medea is a compelling read, every bit as enthralling as it's heroine
Dark, visceral, unrelenting, searing – it’s the story of Medea we have been waiting for, and more. The female villain par excellence takes the stage to give her version of events, in a tale that is as gripping as it is powerful and uncompromising
A dark retelling . . . Fans of Jennifer Saint’s Ariadne, Elektra and Atalanta will love Medea

I loved this version of medea's myth and that the author doesn't make her the good guy, but rather shows them in a female based light, there is no excuse there but explanations. The character of Medea is one of my favorites and I enjoyed this telling of her story very much. The performance is perfect (watch out for the erotic scene with Jason which is a masterpiece of female gaze erotica both from the author and the reader). Listen to the damn book, it's great !

Love it
