Jason gathers the Argonauts and sails east in search of the Golden Fleece, hoping that the prize will restore the kingship denied to him. The expedition brings together ambitious princes, fighters and adventurers whose rivalries are as dangerous as the seas they cross. In Colchis, Jason’s success depends on Medea, a royal woman whose intelligence and forbidden knowledge make betrayal of her own family possible.
Victory does not end the story. Jason’s marriage to Medea is damaged by political calculation, infidelity and his inability to recognise the cost she has paid for him. Treece strips the voyage of heroic certainty and treats the legend as a violent dynastic history in which conquest, desire and reputation steadily destroy the people who made the original triumph possible.
