Synopsis
Charlotte, Branwell, Emily, and Anne. The Brontė siblings have always been inseparable. After all, nothing can bond four siblings quite like life in an isolated parsonage out on the moors. Their vivid imaginations lend them escape from their strict upbringing, actually transporting them into their created worlds: the glittering Verdopolis and the romantic and melancholy Gondal. 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 their characters-the brooding Rogue and dashing Duke of Zamorna-refuse to let them go.
Gorgeously written and based on the Brontės’ own juvenilia, Worlds of Ink & Shadow brings to life one of history’s most celebrated literary families in a thrilling, suspenseful fantasy.

Review
“A luscious, indulgent read about the addictive escapism of writing fiction, with Coakley making inventive and crafty use of her source material. This is part BBC miniseries and part literary Minecraft for the bookiest book lover.” (The Globe and Mail)
“An intricate, evocative, and imaginative story that honours [the Brontės’] legacy while expertly building on the foundation of emotionally resonant storytelling at which they were so proficient.” (Quill & Quire (starred review))
“A gripping and innovative story. . . . A strong historical fantasy that will appeal to readers who are already fans of the Brontės’ novels and spark interest among those unfamiliar with their works and lives.” (School Library Journal)
“An ingenious premise and a richly drawn cast of characters make for an eerie and compelling read in this fantastical origin story of the Brontė siblings.” (Kenneth Oppel)
