In the house of Helios, god of the sun, a daughter is born — but Circe is a strange child, not powerful like her father nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers a power forbidden to the gods: witchcraft. Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her craft and encounters legends of mythology.
