A monthly book club that's accompanied by a cup of tea. Tea bags and tea cups provided. (Or bring your own if you'd like!)
In the house of Helios, god of the sun, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child - neither powerful like her father nor viciously alluring like her mother. Soon, she discovers that she does possess power: the power of witchcraft, which menaces the gods themselves.
Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose once and for all whether she belongs with the gods she is born from or with the mortals she has come to love.
Note: This month, we will be using Book Club in a Bag - stop by the front desk to pick up your copy!
