In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. Circe is strange--not powerful and terrible, like her father, nor gorgeous and mercenary like her mother. But she has the dark power of her own: witchcraft. When Circe's 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 women who stands alone cannot live in peace for long- and among her island's guests is an unexpected visitor: the moral Odysseus, for whom Circe will risk everything.
Circe's tale is a vivid epic of family rivalary, love and loss the inextinguishable song of woman burning hot and bright in the darkness of a man's world.
