This part of his quest has been forgotten, by everyone but me . . .</i><br><br><b>Jason</b> 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.<br><br><b>Medea</b> &ndash; priestess, witch, and daughter of a brutal king &ndash; has the power to save the life of a stranger.
