EN: In one devastating night, violin prodigy Etta Spencer loses everything she knows and loves. Thrust into an unfamiliar world by a stranger with a dangerous agenda, Etta is certain of only one thing: she has traveled not just miles but years from home. And she’s inherited a legacy she knows nothing about from a family whose existence she’s never heard of. Until now.
Nicholas Carter is content with his life at sea, free from the Ironwoods, a powerful family in the colonies, and the servitude he’s known at their hands. But with the arrival of an unusual passenger on his ship comes the insistent pull of the past that he can’t escape and the family that won’t let him go so easily. Now the Ironwoods are searching for a stolen object of untold value, one they believe only Etta, Nicholas’ passenger, can find. In order to protect her, he must ensure she brings it back to them, whether she wants to or not.
Together, Etta and Nicholas embark on a perilous journey across centuries and continents, piecing together clues left behind by the traveler who will do anything to keep the object out of the Ironwoods’ grasp. But as they get closer to the truth of their search, and the deadly game the Ironwoods are playing, treacherous forces threaten to separate Etta not only from Nicholas but from her path home . . . forever.

EN: Charlotte, Branwell, Emily, and Anne. The Brontë 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 slip 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 Brontës’ juvenilia, Worlds of Ink & Shadow brings to life one of history’s most celebrated literary families.
IT: Charlotte, Branwell, Emily e Anne. I fratelli Brontë sono sempre stati inseparabili. Dopotutto nulla può legare quattro fratelli come la vita in un'isolata canonica nella brughiera. La loro vivida immaginazione gli permette di fuggire dalla rigida educazione che gli è stata imposta, trasportandoli in mondi creati dalla loro fantasia: la scintillante Verdopolis e la romantica e malinconica Gondal. Ma a quale prezzo? Mentre Branwell inizia a scivolare nella follia e le sorelle sentono la loro vita reale scivolare via, i quattro fratelli dovranno pagare il prezzo della loro potente immaginazione quando i loro personaggi, il meditabondo Rogue e l'impetuoso Duca di Zamorna, si rifiuteranno di lasciarli andare. Magnificamente scritto e basato sulla giovinezza dei fratelli Brontë, Worlds of Ink and Shadow fa rivivere una delle più celebri famiglie di letterati della storia.
