The Familiar, by Leigh Bardugo

A master of fantasy returns to a new age of magic and intrigue.

Luzia Cotado, a scullion with a secret talent for "little miracles," is thrust from the safety of her kitchen into a world of treacherous politics. As she's forced to use her magic to serve her ambitious mistress, she catches the attention of Spain's most powerful and ruthless figures. But as her notoriety grows, so does the danger. With the Inquisition's pyres burning ever brighter, Luzia must navigate a world of seers, alchemists, and hucksters, where the line between truth and deception is as thin as a thread.

In a desperate bid for survival and a chance at a better life, Luzia must enlist the help of a bitter, immortal familiar whose own dark secrets could prove to be the most deadly magic of all.

For fans of Bardugo's intricate world-building and compelling characters, The Familiar is a story of wit, ambition, and the perilous price of power.
