Daughters. Warriors. Lovers.

"There is the love that is thrust upon us, and love that we choose. Run after the latter, no matter what gods and men say, and never let it go. Or at least, never let yourself look back."

Medea, born to the goddess Hekate and wicked King Aeetes, endures a lonely and trapped life on the island of Colchis. Yet as she grows, so do her powerful talents of witchcraft and magic.

When Jason, Prince of Iolcus, and his band of Argonauts arrive on the island, Medea knows it is her one chance to escape. If she helps Jason steal the Golden Fleece from her father, he promises to marry her and take her back to his kingdom.

Atalanta, raised by bears, is a warrior caught between the wilderness and the human world, but never fully part of either. After the sudden disappearance of the woman she loves, Atalanta joins the Argonauts in an attempt to find her.

But when Medea joins the ship, the sorceress awakens something in Atalanta that she cannot ignore - something more dangerous than she could ever have imagined.

As the ship sets sail, Medea and Atalanta will be forced to choose between the life they always wished for, and a love they secretly desire - but in a world ruled by men, it might just destroy them...
