God. Mortal. Daughter. Monster. Saviour. Outcast. Lover. Destroyer. Creator. Mother. Witch.

Scorned, rejected and at last exiled from her father´s house for her dark gifts, Circe arrives on the remote island of Aiaia with nothing but her wits and magic to help her. But there is danger for a solitary woman in the world, and Circe´s independence and strange powers draw the wrath of men and gods alike. To protect what she holds dear, Circe must decide whether she belongs with the deities she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.

Complicated and wounded, gifted and passionate, Madeline Miller´s captivating Circe steps out of myth and into the present as a heroine for our time, and all times.
