Description

Circe, a bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story, recasts the most infamous female figure from the Odyssey as a hero in her own right. Born into the house of Helios, Circe is a strange child, neither powerful like her father nor viciously alluring like her mother. She finds companionship among mortals, discovering she possesses the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves. Banished to a deserted island, Circe hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts, and crosses paths with famous figures from mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus, and Odysseus. However, there is danger for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods. To protect what she loves most, she must summon all her strength and choose whether she belongs with the gods or the mortals she has come to love. With vivid characters, mesmerizing language, and page-turning suspense, Circe is an epic tale of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love, and loss, celebrating indomitable female strength in a man's world.
