About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

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...

How wonderful to hear another side to these myths, well narrated, god pacing, deeply engaging, magical, tragic and intense. If you liked Madeline Miller’s Circe and Sing off Achilles then I think you’d like this.

A fantastic retelling

A story that the reader likely knows off hand but this retelling brings such a palpable humanity to the character we all want to hate you can almost touch it. I loved every second of it

Absolutely captivating

This book is written in that way which makes you feel the intricate details of each moment and emotion described. The performance takes you away into the story.

Beautifully descriptive

A dark and wonderful fantasy about the woman who made Jason a hero in in his quest for the golden fleece, but who was later shunned and and dismissed by him ....or so he thought. Her bloodthirsty and heartbreaking revenge is a compelling tale flawlessly written and excellently narrated. Absolutely mesmerising. I loved it.

Dark and dangerous and magnificent

I wasn't too keen on the time jumps but I think it did make sense in the story - just makes you feel a little lost almost!
