Description
Circe, a bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story, reimagines the life of Circe, a formidable sorceress born in the house of Helios. As a child, she is not powerful like her father or alluring like her mother, but she discovers she possesses the power of witchcraft, transforming rivals into monsters and menacing the gods. 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, she also draws the wrath of both men and gods, pitting herself against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose between her divine heritage and the mortals she has come to love. With unforgettably vivid characters and mesmerizing language, Circe is a triumph of storytelling, an epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love, and loss, celebrating indomitable female strength in a man's world.
