Circe is born to the sun god Helios and quickly becomes an outcast with her plain hair and voice that sounds like a mortal’s. She spends most of her growing up years escaping to an island with her brother. When he leaves her, a sailor starts visiting and she falls in love. In her desire to make him a mortal, she stumbles upon a power she has that she didn’t know – she is not just a goddess, but also a witch.
