The Familiar

Set during the Spanish Golden Age in Madrid, Luzia Cotado works as a scullery maid while secretly using forbidden scraps of magic to ease her daily burdens. When her employer discovers her abilities, she is forced to perform public miracles to gain status and patronage. Her growing notoriety attracts the attention of the Spanish Inquisition and brings her into an uneasy alliance with an immortal familiar named Guillen Santangel. Together, they must navigate dangerous court politics and powerful enemies to survive.
