\n\nNo Friend to This House \;is an extrao rdinary reimagining of the myth of Medea.
\nThis is what no one tell s you\, in the songs sung about Jason and the Argo. This part of his quest has been forgotten\, by everyone but me . . .
\nJason \;and his Argonauts set sail to find the Golden Fleece. The journey is filled with danger\, for him and everyone he meets. But if he ever reaches the distant land he seeks\, he faces almost certain death.
\nMedea \;&ndash \; priestess\, witch\, and daughter of a brutal king &ndash\; has the powe r to save the life of a stranger. Will she betray her family and her home\ , and what will she demand in return?
\nMedea and Jason \;seize
their one chance of a life together\, as the gods intend. But their love i
s steeped in vengeance from the beginning\, and no one &ndash\; not even t
hose closest to them &ndash\; will be safe.
