No Friend to This House (2026)

Exiled daughter, abandoned wife, vengeful mother: this is Medea as you have never heard her before. Jason and his Argonauts set sail in search of the Golden Fleece, facing danger and almost certain death if they reach the distant land they seek. Medea, a priestess and witch, is the daughter of the brutal king who jealously guards the fleece, and she has the power to save Jasons life. Burning with desire for this stranger, as the gods intend, she chooses Jason over her family and home. But their love is steeped in vengeance from the beginning, and no one, not even those closest to them, will be safe when their passion is spent. Based on Euripides classic tragedy, this extraordinary reimagining of the myth of Medea comes from Natalie Haynes, author of Stone Blind and A Thousand Ships. A Marie Claire Best Book of 2026, it is a passionate and gripping retelling of a legendary story.
