Every Real Historical Figure In Leigh Bardugo's The Familiar

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي]

While most of the characters in Leigh Bardugo's new book The Familiar are fictional, there are a few real-life historical figures who play supporting roles. The Familiar is a love story set against a backdrop of magic and immortality, but equally against a backdrop of history. Scullery maid Luzia Cotado is thrust into a world of political intrigue and power when her talent for creating little miracles is discovered, and she's forced into a partnership with the immortal Guillén Santángel. As they work together, a deep love blossoms between them.
