From the New York Times bestselling author of Ninth House, Hell Bent, and creator of the Grishaverse series comes a highly anticipated historical fantasy set during the Spanish Golden Age
In a shabby house, on a shabby street, in the new capital of Madrid, Luzia Cotado uses scraps of magic to get through her days of endless toil as a scullion. But when her scheming mistress discovers the lump of a servant cowering in the kitchen is actually hiding a talent for little miracles, she demands Luzia use those gifts to better the family's social position.
What begins as simple amusement for the bored nobility takes a perilous turn when Luzia garners the notice of Antonio Pérez, the disgraced secretary to Spain's king. Still reeling from the defeat of his armada, the king is desperate for any advantage in the war against England's heretic queen—and Pérez will stop at nothing to regain the king's favor.
Determined to seize this one chance to better her fortunes, Luzia plunges into a world of seers and alchemists, holy men and hucksters, where the line between magic, science, and fraud is never certain. But as her notoriety grows, so does the danger that her Jewish blood will doom her to the Inquisition's wrath. She will have to use every bit of her wit and will to survive—even if that means enlisting the help of Guillén Santangel, an embittered immortal familiar whose own secrets could prove deadly for them both.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Ninth House, Hell Bent, and creator of the Grishaverse series comes a highly anticipated historical fantasy set during the Spanish Golden Age
Luzia Cotado, a scullion in Madrid, survives her harsh days with small bits of magic—tricks she never meant anyone to notice. But when her ambitious mistress discovers her hidden talent, Luzia is pushed into performing miracles to elevate the family’s status, drawing the attention of powerful figures at court. What begins as entertainment for nobles quickly becomes dangerous when Antonio Pérez, the disgraced former secretary to the king, sees Luzia as a tool to regain influence in a Spain still shaken by the Armada’s defeat.
As Luzia is swept into a world of mystics, alchemists, and political schemers, her rising fame puts her at risk—especially as her Jewish heritage makes her a target for the Inquisition. To survive, she must rely on her wits and the reluctant help of Guillén Santangel, an immortal familiar with secrets of his own. Together, they navigate a perilous landscape where magic, ambition, and danger intertwine.
