The Ancient Greek mythological story of Medea is given a modern-day twist by award-winning Australian author, Kerry Greenwood who is best known for her Miss Phryne Fisher murder mystery novels. This first tale from the Delphic Women historical fantasy series is told from the perspectives of Nauplios, one of Jason’s Argonauts, and Medea herself. Medea, Princess of Colchis is priestess to Hekate the dark goddess of destruction. Jason, Prince of Iolkos and leader of the Argonauts embark on the impossible task of acquiring the fabled Golden Fleece. Medea secretly helps him steal the fleece, becomes his wife and sails with him to claim his throne. Greenwood creates a character with depth and complexity, portraying a woman betrayed, lost and redeemed. A compelling and dramatic exploration that makes an “enthralling, sensual, tragic tale packed with historical detail” (Kirkus Reviews).
