In Evil Hour

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Overview

In a humble Madrid home, Luzia Cotado survives using minor magic. When her mistress discovers her gift for small miracles, Luzia is compelled to use her abilities to charm the royal court. She enters a realm of ambitious nobles, desperate royalty, and religious figures where magic, science, and deception intertwine.
