From Madeline Miller comes a beautifully written and captivating retelling of Greek mythology—centred on one of its most misunderstood figures.

Born to the sun god Helios but lacking the power expected of a goddess, Circe grows up feeling out of place among the divine. When she discovers her own unique gift—the power of witchcraft—she is feared and ultimately exiled to a remote island.

Alone, Circe hones her abilities and encounters some of the most famous figures of myth, including Odysseus. But her journey is not just one of magic—it is a story of identity, independence, love, and what it means to truly belong.
