The Witch of Colchis: A Novel

"A fiery and dramatic novel, starring one of mythology's most notorious women." -- Jennifer Saint, internationally bestselling author of Ariadne and Atalanta

For readers of Costanza Casati and Circe comes a Medea like you've never known her before--a woman with improbable skill and the fiercest heart, held back by men who could never dream to deserve her.

A disgraced daughter. A fearsome witch.

A woman more myth than mortal.

Medea, princess of Colchis, longs for a different life. Since childhood, she has been shunned from her family, tormented by her people, and treated with shame. All because of a unique and dangerous talent: witchcraft.

But when a dashing young hero, Jason, arrives to claim the famed Golden Fleece, Medea sees her opportunity for escape. Her offer to help Jason sets in motion a journey that will test every ounce of strength, magic, and loyalty she has. A journey that will see her battle monsters, dethrone kings, and confront a love more brutal than any before.

A journey that will ultimately end in betrayal, bloodshed, and a dark power impossible to forget.

Medea’s story is one full of tragedy. She just wanted to be loved, she was hurt by everyone who was supposed to or promised to do so. She didn’t want to be a destroyer. “She chose the path of hate because nobody showed her another route.” Book #55 in 2025
