### About the Book

In the house of Helios, god of the sun, a daughter is born—but Circe is different. Neither powerful nor alluring by divine standards, she turns to the world of mortals for companionship and discovers a forbidden strength of her own: witchcraft. When Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, Circe hones her craft, tames wild beasts, and crosses paths with some of mythology’s most unforgettable figures—Daedalus and Icarus, Medea, the Minotaur, and the cunning Odysseus.
As gods and men alike threaten what she loves, Circe must choose where she truly belongs: among the immortals she was born from, or the mortals she has come to love. Circe is a powerful, lyrical reimagining of myth—one that explores independence, resilience, femininity, and the courage to claim your own story.

Come enjoy a cocktail (or two), connect with fellow readers, and dive into a rich discussion about power, exile, love, and transformation.
Literature with a Twist—cheers to a magical start to the year! 🍷✨
