‘No Friend to This House’ by Natalie Haynes

Hardback, Mantle, £20

An extraordinary reimagining of the myth of Medea, the classic tragedy by Euripides, Jason and his Argonauts set sail to find the Golden Fleece in a dangerous quest.

If he ever reaches the distant land he seeks, he faces almost certain death. Medea – priestess, witch, and daughter of a brutal king – has the power to save this stranger.

Will she betray her family and her home, and what will she demand in return? Medea and Jason seize their one chance of a life together, as the gods intend. But their love is steeped in vengeance, and no one will be safe.

‘Impossible Creatures - The Poisoned King’ by Katherine Rundell

Hardback, Bloomsbury, £14.99

When Christopher Forrester is unexpectedly woken by a miniature dragon chewing on his face, his heart leaps for joy.

For months he’s dreamed of returning to the Archipelago – the secret islands where all the creatures of myth still live.

But he did not know it would involve a rescue mission on the back of a sphinx, or a plan to enter a dragon’s lair. Nor did he imagine it would involve a girl with a flock of birds at her side, a new-hatched chick in her pocket and a ravenous hunger for justice.
