In the bustling capital of Madrid during its Golden Age, Luzia Cotado is a scullion who uses her hidden talent for minor magic to survive. Her mistress discovers this ability and compels Luzia to use her gifts to elevate the family's social standing. What starts as entertainment for the aristocracy becomes dangerous when Luzia attracts the attention of Antonio Pérez, a disgraced royal secretary. Spain, still recovering from a naval defeat, seeks an edge against England, and Pérez will exploit any advantage. Luzia enters a world of mystics, alchemists, and charlatans, where the lines between magic, science, and deception blur.
