In the house of Helios, the sun god and a Titan, a daughter named Circe is born. Unlike her powerful father and alluring mother, Circe is an oddity who seeks companionship among mortals. She discovers her own power through witchcraft, enabling her to transform rivals into monsters and challenge the gods. Fearing her abilities, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she refines her craft, befriends wild beasts, and encounters legendary figures from mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and Icarus, and the cunning Odysseus. However, her solitude attracts danger, as both men and gods become threatened by her strength. Ultimately, Circe faces the wrath of a vengeful Olympian and must protect her loved ones. This leads her to a pivotal choice: to align with the gods of her birth or embrace the mortals she cherishes. With rich characters, captivating language, and gripping suspense, this tale weaves a narrative of family rivalry, love, and loss, while celebrating the resilience of a woman in a male-dominated world.
