Circe

About this book

Born in the house of Helios, god of the sun, Circe is a strange child, lacking the power of her father or the beauty of her mother. Scorned and rejected, she discovers a dark power of her own: witchcraft. When her gift threatens the gods, she is banished to the island of Aiaia, where she hones her occult craft, casting spells, gathering strange herbs, and taming wild beasts. Yet, a woman who stands alone is rarely left in peace, and among her island's guests is the mortal Odysseus, for whom Circe will risk everything. This is her tale, an epic of family rivalry, love, and loss.
