This is the story of the goddess Circe, Helios’ daughter. Growing up, she is the least favorite daughter. No one really knows what to do with her. She ends up getting in trouble with the higher gods and finds herself banished to a solitary island. From there, she realizes what she truly is – a witch! The book is an epic saga and introduces us to many of our favorite characters from Greek mythology – Hermes, Athena, Daedalus, Odysseus… even monsters like The Minotaur and Scylla. I could not love it more.
