Becoming Medea

Thousands of years after humanity fled a desolate Earth, people return to begin anew. The Gods reawaken and take on new forms. Together, deities, women, and men forge a new mythology borne of compassion instead of conflict. In this world, Medea journeys through pain, passion, and motherhood in search of her power, and in search of joy. Can she outpace and outsmart an adversary who would see her, her sons, and her kingdom destroyed? Will her magic serve her as a princess and as a prisoner?

Join her in a world ruled by Asian and African queens, by heroines who desire both women and men. While Medea hungers for beauty, her determination, above all else, is to forge a future made of love.

"Becoming Medea is an epic love story, both traditional and breathtakingly original, one that gives a whole new dimension to the term "in love." In love is not only the romantic passion that the lovers fall into. In love is the realm where the mortal and immortal pair live-with each other, with friends, sisters, animal companions (including dragons and sea monsters), children, aging parents and deities, even rivals and enemies. Funny, visionary, full of witty repartee, sensual detail, flights of beauty and fancy, Becoming Medea is grounded in unshakable commitment to kindness and integrity. Long live the House of Medea!"
