Circe

In the palace of Helios, god of the sun and the most powerful of the Titans, a girl is born. But Circe is an unusual child: she lacks her father's powers and her mother's aggressive seductive charm. When she ventures into the mortal world seeking companionship, she discovers that she does possess a power—the power of sorcery—with which she can transform her rivals into monsters and threaten even the gods themselves.

Fearful, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where Circe perfects her dark arts, tames wild beasts and encounters numerous famous figures from Greek mythology: from the Minotaur to Daedalus and his unfortunate son Icarus, the murderous Medea and, of course, the cunning Odysseus.

But danger also lurks, and Circe unwittingly incurs the wrath of both humans and gods, ultimately forcing her to confront one of the most imposing and vengeful Olympians. To protect what she loves, Circe must summon all her strength and decide, once and for all, whether she belongs to the world into which she was born or to the mortal world she has come to love.

Filled with unforgettable characters, captivating style, and gripping suspense, "Circe" is a narrative triumph, a heady epic of family rivalries, palace intrigues, love and loss, and a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world.
