Nadira's secret gifts have been revealed, but can she harness her powers for good? Rome, 1495. No longer a slave, Nadira is revered for her ability to read and apply the teachings in the mystical ancient text, the Hermetica of Elysium. No, she has earned her place in the company of adventurers who travel to Istanbul to uncover another ancient text. However, Nadira finds herself torn between competing agendas. The Templar Knights are intent on recovering a Grimoire, stolen from them over 200 years ago. The Grimoire is a book of spells that promises to raise the dead, and is being used by the Sultan's necromancer. Her love, Lord Montrose , won't be satisfied until he can avenge the death of his scholar brother, and he wants Nadira to help him find the murderer in Istanbul. Her friend and soulmate, Friar William is in the throes of doubt, as his faith and his deep connection to Nadira is challenged by his first taste of alchemy. And what about what Nadira wants? Can she find a space between the competing agendas of these persuasive men to achieve what she believes her destiny to be? The Servant Girl's Sight is the second book of an enthralling historical fantasy series by Annmarie Banks. Set in medieval Europe, it is a twisty tale of adventure and mysticism, and will appeal to readers of Noah Gordon and Kate Mosse. Note: Originally published as "The Necromancer's Grimoire."
