In the house of Helios, the sun god and a Titan, a daughter named Circe is born. Unlike her powerful father and alluring mother, Circe is an oddity who seeks companionship among mortals. She discovers her own power through witchcraft, enabling her to transform rivals into monsters and challenge the gods. Fearing her abilities, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she refines her craft, befriends wild beasts, and encounters legendary figures from mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and Icarus, and the cunning Odysseus. However, her solitude attracts danger, as both men and gods become threatened by her strength. Ultimately, Circe faces the wrath of a vengeful Olympian and must protect her loved ones. This leads her to a pivotal choice: to align with the gods of her birth or embrace the mortals she cherishes. With rich characters, captivating language, and gripping suspense, this tale weaves a narrative of family rivalry, love, and loss, while celebrating the resilience of a woman in a male-dominated world.

From award-winning author E. J. Mellow comes the thrilling second installment in the Mousai series, featuring a powerful sorceress who finds her loyalties tested by a ruthless pirate lord. Within the world of Aadilor, there is a hidden place called the Thief Kingdom, where both magic and pleasure abound. There, the Mousai, a trio of deadly sorceresses bound by oath and blood, use their powers to protect the kingdom's treasures. Niya Bassette brings the potent gift of dance to the Mousai, but behind her tempting twirls, she carries a heavy secret--that the infamous pirate lord, Alōs Ezra, has been threatening to exploit for years. Now banished from the Thief Kingdom for smuggling, Alōs resurfaces in Niya's life with a plot to hold her hostage, leveraging what he knows to extort a pardon from the Thief King. But Niya makes her own deal with Alōs to guard her secret and guarantee her freedom--yet in doing so binds herself aboard his pirate ship, where she must navigate deadly waters, a bloodthirsty crew, and her own traitorous heart. Soon, a simmering attraction between her and Alōs threatens their delicate truce and makes for a tumultuous ride on the open seas. Far from her kingdom, Niya is entangled in a dangerous dance indeed. Welcome to the world of Aadilor, where dark deeds can mask noble hearts and the most alluring of sways often ends with a burn. Care for a spin?
