‘An epic spanning thousands of years that's also a keep-you-up-all-night page turner.’
- Ann Patchett
Born to a God but never quite belonging, Circe discovers her true power not in Olympus but in exile. Banished to a remote island, she hones her craft, defying the whims of Gods and men alike. Hers is a tale of transformation — of love and loss, vengeance and redemption. As heroes and monsters cross her path, from Odysseus to the Minotaur, she refuses to be a footnote in their stories. Instead, she writes her own legend, forging a destiny no one — God or mortal — could have foreseen.
