FATE CAN BE CHANGED.
CURSES CAN BE BROKEN.

In a shabby house in the new capital of Madrid, Luzia Cotado uses scraps of magic to get through her days of endless toil. But when her scheming mistress discovers her scullion is hiding a talent for little miracles, she demands Luzia use those gifts to win over the royal court.

Determined to seize this chance to better her fortunes, Luzia plunges into a world of power-hungry nobility, desperate kings, holy men and seers, where the lines between magic, science and fraud blur. With the pyres of the Inquisition burning, she must use every bit of her wit and resilience to win fame and hide the truth of her ancestry - even if that means enlisting the help of an embittered immortal familiar, whose own secrets could cost her everything.

From the Sunday Times bestselling author comes a bewitching novel, brimming with peril in a world where a woman’s ambition can prove deadly.

PRAISE FOR LEIGH BARDUGO''S BOOKS

Reading Bardugo is an immersive, sensual experience... One can’t help sinking into Luzia and Santángel’s world and wishing never to leave’ THE NEW YORK TIMES

‘A compelling, well-researched and vividly written tale of magic and desire’
THE GUARDIAN

The Familiar feels distinct from similar tales ? including Bardugo’s own ? because it explores a brutal and shameful real-life history... Bardugo brilliantly explores the wavy line between the supernatural and the divine’
WASHINGTON POST

''A pacy read with electric prose''
INDEPENDENT on Six of Crows

''Impossible to put down''

Diferente, dark...mas sedutor.

Mariana Mendes

O estilo único da autora tem aqui um lugar de destaque, é talvez o livro que saiba mais à sua essência e isso nota-se no amor e encanto das palavras que colocou nesta história. É uma história estranha, dark, repleta de segredos, de magia, de misticismo...revela os pecados da humanidade de um modo diferente e demonstra que a ambição governa os homens. Sempre governou e sempre governará...porque a verdade, é que todos queremos sempre mais do que aquilo que temos. A história da Luzia é apresentada como sendo ficção histórica com realismo mágico, mas como que se torna num romantasy conforme evolui (e eu adorei isso) - adorei os diferentes estilos de história que é; é uma junção de tudo...tal como a humanidade. Amei de paixão tudo e todos...a Luzia é ambição e inteligência pura e o Santángel é a sombra protetora que está sempre presente
