This is not the story of the woman you think you know. You know only the tales told through the ages. No, this is the story of a dangerous woman fighting for her freedom in a world dominated by cruel gods and ego-driven men...

In the house of King Aeetes on the shores of the Black Sea, Medea plays with gods in the forest as visions of a dark future haunt her. Descendant of Helios and daughter of sea nymph Idyia, Medea holds the kind of power meant for the heroes of the epics, the heroes who have yet to arrive in the world. But as a woman, her place is decided by the men around her. Until Jason and his Argonauts arrive, bringing with them the winds of change and the goddess's voice ringing out of Medea's lips.

Sacrifices. Politics wrapped in layers of deceit, blood, and ego. Gods with their own agendas not meant for mortal flesh. Magic. Monsters. Love. 

Who will Medea become in her desperate search for freedom?

Industry Reviews

"Author JJ Taylor has crafted a thrilling and atmospheric work that reimagines Medea in a stirring, active fashion, presenting her as a multidimensional character grappling with societal expectations, divine forces, and her own quest for freedom."

K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite


"Medea by JJ Taylor has all the qualities of a best-seller. The author's ability to infuse the nectar of life into archaic words turns crumbling ruins into shining temples, wind-blown ashes into born-again human bones, and inevitable death into fabled glory. This is the story of Medea depicted as never before."

Queer Literary Loft


"Fiercely sensual and extremely readable- and so wise

about the way that it's always fear - not just magic - that

turns people into monsters."

Paul Magrs, author of the Brenda and Effi mysteries


"Beautifully written with the mythology interwoven with

the angst and emotions of a real woman, I can't

recommend this highly enough."

E.V. Bancroft, GCLS award-winning author
