He has come to take what is yours.

Kingdom of Iolkos, Thessaly: c.1250 BC

When the kingdom of Iolkos is attacked one stormy night, Jason, son of King Aeson, is smuggled from the palace, still swaddled in his blankets.

Twenty years later, a vagrant descends from the mountains. King Pelias has been warned of the one-sandaled man who would one day supplant him, but he did not reckon on Aeson's son and rightful heir.

Claiming his birth-right during a tense showdown in front of the cream of Hellenic warriors and athletes, Jason accepts Pelias' impossible challenge: to steal a mythical Golden Fleece from the distant kingdom of Colchis. The lives of Jason's parents and his own fate depends on it. But how will he fare when he needs a band of heroes to accompany him, not the dangerous mixture of villains and self-proclaimed noblemen from all over Hellas to aid in his quest?

Jason's mission to steal the Golden Fleece from the ends of the earth is a story of revenge, coming-of-age, the exploration of new and hostile lands.
