Woman. Witch. Myth. Mortal. Outcast. Lover. Destroyer. Survivor. Circe."A bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story," this novel is "both epic and intimate in its scope, recasting the most infamous female figure from the Odyssey as a hero in her own right" (Alexandra Alter, The New York Times).In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born.
