Circe

Circe, a number-one international bestseller and acclaimed as a Book of the Year by publications including The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Sunday Telegraph, Time Magazine, and Goodreads, tells the story of the daughter of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans. Unlike her powerful father or her beautiful, ambitious mother, Circe is an outcast, belonging neither to the world of gods nor mortals. Yet she possesses a dark and formidable power: witchcraft. When her abilities threaten the gods, she is exiled to the island of Aiaia, where she hones her craft, mastering spells, gathering rare herbs, and taming wild beasts. Life on the island is never peaceful, however, and when the mortal Odysseus arrives, Circe risks everything for him. Her tale unfolds as a vivid, mesmerizing epic of family rivalry, love, loss, and the unyielding spirit of a woman shining brightly through the darkness of a man’s world.
