With unforgettably vivid characters, mesmerizing language and page-turning suspense, CIRCE is a triumph of storytelling --- an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world.

Achilles, "the best of all the Greeks," son of a sea goddess and a legendary king, is strong, swift, and beautiful. Patroclus is an awkward young prince. Brought together by chance, they forge an inseparable bond. Little do they know that the cruel Fates will test them both as never before and demand a terrible sacrifice.
