Known for the brutal act of killing her own children to exact vengeance on her deceitful husband, the Argonauts leader Jason, Medea has carved out a singularly infamous niche in our histories.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut what if that isn’t the full story?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe daughter of a sea nymph and the granddaughter of a Titan, Medea is a paradox. She is at once rendered compelling by virtue of the divinity that flows through her bloodline and made powerless by the fact of her being a woman. As a child, she intuitively submerges herself in witchcraft and sorcery, but soon finds it may not be a match for the prophecies that hang over her entire family like a shroud.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs Medea comes into her own as a woman and a witch, she also faces the arrival of the hero Jason, preordained by the gods to be not only her husband, but also her lifeline to escape her isolated existence. Medea travels the treacherous seas with the Argonauts, battles demons she had never conceived of, and falls in love with the man who may ultimately be her downfall.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn this propulsive, beautifully written debut, readers will finally hear Medea’s side of the story through a fresh and feminist lens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41513914564705,"sku":"9781668020760","price":14.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_31762479.jpg?v=1734597025","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781668020760-medea","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
