In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. Circe is a strange child: not powerful like her father, nor viciously beautiful like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power: the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves. Banished to a deserted island, she hones her occult craft, taming wild beasts and crossing paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, and the cunning Odysseus. But there is danger for a woman who stands alone, and Circe is unwittingly drawn into a conflict between the gods and mortals she has come to love.
