### 📖 **Book Overview**
*Circe* is a bold and subversive retelling of the goddess’s story, brilliantly reimagining the life of Circe, the formidable sorceress from *The Odyssey*.
In the house of Helios, the god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. However, Circe is unlike her powerful father and alluring mother. Seeking companionship among mortals, she discovers her own unique power: witchcraft. This power allows her to transform rivals into monsters and even threaten the gods themselves.
### 🌌 **Plot Summary**
When threatened by the gods, Zeus banishes Circe to a deserted island. Here, she hones her craft, tames wild beasts, and encounters some of mythology’s most famous figures, including:
– The Minotaur
– Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus
– The murderous Medea
– The cunning Odysseus
As a solitary woman, Circe unwittingly attracts the wrath of both men and gods, leading her to confront terrifying Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and decide whether she belongs to the gods of her birth or the mortals she has grown to love.
