This is not the story of the gods. This is the story of the witch they feared.

Born in the house of Helios, Circe is neither powerful like her father nor seductive like her mother. Dismissed and exiled, she discovers the ancient art of witchcraft and begins to shape her fate with herbs, spells, and defiance. Along the way, she crosses paths with mortals and immortals alike, Odysseus, Daedalus, Athena, and carves out a life that is hers alone.

Told in lyrical, magnetic prose, Circe is a feminist retelling that reclaims a once-sidelined mythic figure. But more than that, it’s a novel about solitude, power, transformation, and the price of becoming fully yourself.
