This story weaves together the lives of women across time, centered on a hidden shop and the secrets kept by those who wield power in the shadows. It echoes the historical depth and the focus on female solidarity found in The Witches of Moonshyne Manor.
While more epic in scale, Circe's journey of self-discovery, isolation, and learning to wield her own power against those who seek to suppress her parallels the struggles of the Moonshyne witches. It is a beautifully written character study of a woman finding her own agency.
