In the house of Helios god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans a daughter is born. Circe is strange — not powerful and terrible like her father nor gorgeous and mercenary like her mother. But she has a dark power of her own : witchcraft. When Circes gift threatens the gods she is banished to the island of Aiaia where she hones her occult craft casting spells gathering strange herbs and taming wild beasts. Yet a woman who stands alone cannot live in peace for long — and among her islands guests is an unexpected visitor : the mortal Odysseus for whom Circe will risk everything.
