Circe by Madeline Miller
Circe, the infamous witch of Homer’s Odyssey, is not powerful like her father Helios, nor viciously alluring like her mother Perse. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, Circe discovers that she possesses the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves. Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft. When Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both humans and gods, she ultimately finds herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians.
