Born to Helios, god of the sun, Circe is an unusual child who lacks her father's might and her mother's allure. Drawn to the mortal world, she discovers her own gift for witchcraft and, deemed a threat, is banished by Zeus to a solitary island. There she refines her craft and encounters many figures of Greek myth, while navigating the dangers faced by a woman standing alone against both mortals and gods. The story follows her family conflicts, loves, and losses, and her eventual choice between the gods of her birth and the mortals she comes to love.
