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, not gorgeous and mercenary like her mother. But she has a dark power of her own witchcraft. When Circe's gift threatens the gods, she is banished to the island of Alain 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 island's guests is an unexpected visitor the mortal Odysseus, for whom Circe will risk everything. Circe's tale is a vivid epic of family rivalry, love and loss - the inextinguishable song of woman burning hot and bright in the darkness of a man's world.
