Medea is alive. The mythological child-killer lives in modern New York City as an artist and cultural icon. Her past is undeniable to millions of devoted followers. They see a monster. They worship her anyway.
Claire Mitchell is a struggling journalist who wants to know why. Pursuing Medea's inner circle, she hopes to find the answer for an article that will rejuvenate her voice and save her career. Instead, she uncovers a secret buried so deeply that it threatens to destroy what Medea has built for centuries.
But Claire refuses to see what is visible to everyone around her. When she finally confronts Medea, the truth Claire demands from her may be less devastating than the truth Claire has been hiding from herself.
