This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of books). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Plot

The novel follows a scallion (a kitchen-maid) named "Luzia Cotado" who works in Casa Ordoño, a poor noble house in Madrid, Spain. Luzia Cotado uses scraps of magic to get through her days but when her lady, Valentina Ordoño, discovers that her scallion is hiding a talent for little miracles, she demands Luzia use those gifts to better the family's social position.

Luzia is worried where she to run to if the Inquisition gets the news of he little Milagritos, specially with her Jewish bloodline.

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. now Luzia is faced with perils and is thrown into a world of seers and alchemists, holy men and hucksters, where the line between magic, science, and fraud is never certain.
