Jason stands at the helm of the Argo, a magical ship that speaks to its crew. He has gathered the greatest heroes of Greece for an impossible mission: sail to the edge of the known world and steal the Golden Fleece from King Aeetes. The journey tests every man aboard as they face monsters, treacherous seas, and hostile kingdoms. When Jason reaches Colchis, he discovers he cannot succeed without help from Medea, the king's daughter and a powerful sorceress. She possesses the magic to overcome her father's deadly trials, but her aid comes at a price that will bind their fates together. As Jason must choose between his mission and his heart, Medea must decide whether to betray her family for a foreign hero. This ancient tale weaves together adventure and romance, divine intervention and human ambition, in the story of a quest that transforms everyone it touches.
