Circe (Spanish Edition)

In the palace of Helios, god of the sun and the most powerful of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child: she lacks her father's powers and her mother's aggressive seductive abilities. When she comes to the mortal world in search of companionship, she discovers that she does possess a power: the power of witchcraft, with which she can transform her rivals into monsters and threaten the gods themselves.

Fearful, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where Circe perfects her dark arts, tames wild beasts, and encounters numerous famous figures from Greek mythology: from the Minotaur to Daedalus and his ill-fated son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, the cunning Odysseus.

But danger also lurks, and Circe unwittingly incurs the wrath of both humans and gods, ultimately forcing her to confront one of the most formidable and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves, Circe must summon all her strength and decide, once and for all, whether she belongs in the world she was born into or the mortal she has come to love.

Filled with characters of unforgettable intensity, a captivating style, and gripping suspense, Circe is a narrative achievement, a heady epic of family rivalries, palace intrigue, love, and loss, and a celebration of untamed feminine strength in a man's world.
