Description

Circe, the powerful story of the mythological witch, born in the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans. Rejected by her kin, Circe turns to mortals for companionship, discovering a forbidden power: witchcraft. Banished to the remote island of Aiaia, she learns to harness her occult craft, drawing strength from nature. As she navigates her isolation, Circe's path is entwined with that of several notable figures, including the messenger god Hermes, the craftsman Daedalus, and the epic voyager Odysseus. Danger lurks for a solitary woman in this world, and Circe must decide whether she belongs with the deities she is born from or the mortals she has come to love. Madeline Miller's intoxicating tale of gods and heroes, magic and monsters, survival and transformation breathes life into the ancient world, weaving a compelling narrative that explores the complexities of identity and belonging.
