Goodreads Choice Award-winning book

This is a story of love and loss, determination and tireless struggle. You will see the Greek pantheon through the eyes of Circe, a cunning sorceress, a treacherous beauty and seductress. But this is also the story of a woman fighting for her place in the world of men, because sometimes another, deeper story is hidden beneath the familiar surface.

Circe, the daughter of the sun god Helios, turned out to be unusual even by the standards of the gods - with a rare magical power that can turn the world upside down. Even Zeus felt a threat in her, so he sent the girl to an uninhabited island. Now Circe is an outcast who is improving her magic even more.

The famous Daedalus and Icarus, the Minotaur, Medea and the legendary Odysseus appear in her life. But in the end, Circe realises that she is alone - both among the gods and among mortals. A cruel fate awaits her, so she has to decide once and for all whether she belongs to the gods she was born from or to the mortals she loved above all else.
