This #1 New York Times Bestseller and Goodreads Choice Award winner reimagines one of mythology’s most misunderstood figures as a hero for our time. In Madeline Miller’s spellbinding epic, Circe—the strange daughter of Helios—transforms from an outcast among immortals into a formidable witch who discovers her own extraordinary power.
Banished to a deserted island by Zeus himself, Circe hones her craft in solitude, taming wild beasts and weaving spells that can transform rivals into monsters. Her island becomes a crossroads for mythology’s most legendary figures: the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and the cunning Odysseus. But standing alone as a woman among vengeful gods and treacherous mortals carries its own dangers.
When Circe draws the wrath of the Olympians, she must choose between the divine world of her birth and the mortal realm she’s come to cherish. It’s a choice that will demand every ounce of her strength and witchcraft.
Miller’s prose is intoxicating—vivid, mesmerizing, and utterly unputdownable. This is palace intrigue, family rivalry, and female empowerment woven into an epic that feels both ancient and urgently contemporary. Named one of the best books of the year by NPR, The Washington Post, Time, Amazon, and countless others, this modern classic celebrates indomitable female strength in a world determined to silence it.
