Immerse yourself in the story of Circe, a figure from Greek mythology reimagined with unforgettable intensity. Born in the palace of Helios, Circe is different from her family, lacking the powers of her father and the seduction of her mother. After being banished to a deserted island by Zeus, Circe discovers and perfects her skills in witchcraft, encountering mythical characters such as the Minotaur, Daedalus, and Odysseus. However, her power attracts the wrath of gods and mortals, forcing her to fight to protect what she loves and decide which world she belongs to. This novel is a celebration of female strength in a world dominated by men, exploring themes of family rivalries, intrigues, and the search for love and identity.
