Este é Skin Hunger de Kathleen Duey, o primeiro livro de a série de livros "A Resurrection of Magic" .
Sadima lives in a world where magic has been banned, leaving poor villagers prey to fakes and charlatans. A magician stole her family's few valuables and left Sadima's mother to die on the day Sadima was born. But vestiges of magic are hidden in old rhymes and hearth tales and in people like Sadima, who conceals her silent communication with animals for fear of rejection and ridicule. When rumors of her gift reach Somiss, a young nobleman obsessed with restoring magic, he sends Franklin, his lifelong servant, to find her.
Sadima's joy at sharing her secret becomes love for the man she shares it with. But Franklin's irrevocable bond to the brilliant and dangerous Somiss traps her, too, and she faces a heartbreaking decision. Centuries later magic has been restored, but it is available only to the wealthy and is strictly controlled by wizards within a sequestered academy of magic.

The Gypsy symbols were intricate, and she was so much better at them than Franklin. She would help him finish copying the book, then she was going to leave, to make her way back to Ferne. Mattie would take her in. Then she would find a way to open a cheese shop in town. She would think of Franklin often, with sadness and love. Thanks to him, she knew that there were other people in the world like her. That was enough. She would learn not to listen to animals' thoughts and would concentrate on more useful skills. And she would do what Micah had done. She would find someone to love.
