A mortal maid of the hearth journeys to Olympus to rescue her sister, who has been poisoned by a curse from the underworld. She meets Zeus, who appears in the form of an elderly man, and a sacred flame ties her fate irrevocably to a lord of his bloodline. She keeps their marriage hidden while serving in the temple, enduring relentless persecution from a priestess who is infatuated with her husband. Eventually, her dormant Hestia blood awakens, and her extraordinary weaving skill astonishes everyone. After enduring countless trials, the two reconcile and affirm their love. The Light of the Golden Fleece heals her sister’s curse and stabilizes her newly awakened divine power.
