Worlds Of Ink And Shadow

The Bronte siblings-Charlotte, Branwell, Emily and Anne-find escape from their constrained lives via their rich imaginations. The glittering world of Verdopolis and the romantic and melancholy world of Gondal literally come to life under their pens, offering the sort of romance and intrigue missing from their isolated parsonage home. But at what price? As Branwell begins to descend into madness and the sisters feel their real lives slipping away, they must weigh the cost of their powerful imaginations, even as the characters they have created-the brooding Rogue and dashing Duke of Zamorna-refuse to let them go.
Gorgeously written and based on the Brontes' juvenilia, Worlds of Ink and Shadow brings to life one of history's most celebrated literary families in a thrilling, suspenseful fantasy.
