Circe

In the house of Helios, god of the sun, a daughter is born. Circe is not powerful like her father, or alluring like her mother. But she possesses the power of witchcraft, which can menace the gos themselves. Threatened, Zeus banishes Circe to a deserted island, where she hones her craft and crosses paths with many of the famous figures in mythology. But there is danger for a woman who stands alone. Eirce is an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of female strength in a man's world.--back cover
