Goodreads Choice Award Winner
This is a story of love and loss, determination and relentless struggle. Meet the Greek pantheon through the eyes of Circe — a cunning sorceress, a beguiling temptress. But it's also the tale of a woman carving out her place in a man's world, revealing deeper stories beneath familiar surfaces.
Circe, daughter of the Sun God Helios, proved extraordinary even by divine standards — with rare magical powers capable of turning the world upside down. Even Zeus felt threatened by her, so he banished the girl to a deserted island. Now Circe is an exile, refining her magic even more.
Her life intertwines with the famous Daedalus and Icarus, the Minotaur, Medea, and the legendary Odysseus. Yet ultimately, Circe realizes she is alone — among both gods and mortals. A cruel fate awaits her, forcing her to decide once and for all whether she belongs to the gods she was born from or the mortals she loved above all.
