The Familiar

About “The Familiar”

In Madrid, scullion Luzia Cotado hides a talent for small magical miracles until her mistress discovers it and demands she use those gifts to win over the royal court. Luzia navigates power-hungry nobility, desperate kings, holy men, and seers as lines between magic, science, and fraud blur, with the Inquisition's pyres burning and an embittered immortal familiar aiding her.
