Emma Newman

Brother's Ruin is the first in a new gaslamp fantasy series by Emma Newman. “Newman reworks the familiar idea of magical schools, breathing some new life into the premise by exploring the darker corners of London and their murky morality.” — Publishers Weekly 

The year is 1850 and Great Britain is flourishing, thanks to the Royal Society of the Esoteric Arts. When a new mage is discovered, Royal Society elites descend like buzzards to snatch up a new apprentice. Talented mages are bought from their families at a tremendous price, while weak mages are snapped up for a pittance. For a lower middle class family like the Gunns, the loss of a son can be disastrous, so when seemingly magical incidents begin cropping up at home, they fear for their Ben's life and their own livelihoods.

But Benjamin Gunn isn't a talented mage. His sister Charlotte is, and to prevent her brother from being imprisoned for false reporting she combines her powers with his to make him seem a better prospect. 

When she discovers a nefarious plot by the sinister Doctor Ledbetter, Charlotte must use all her cunning and guile to protect her family, her secret and her city.

Weaver's Lament

The year is 1850 and Great Britain is flourishing, thanks to the Royal Society of the Esoteric Arts. The Industrial Revolution, powered by the Royal Society’s magic, is changing the world and fortunes can be made by those with strong magical talent. Newly discovered talented mages are bought from their families at a tremendous price, while weak mages are snapped up for a pittance.

Charlotte Gunn doesn’t trust the Royal Society and is hiding her magical talents to avoid being forcibly recruited by them. But when her magic is mistaken as her brother’s and he is put forward for compulsory testing, she has a terrible choice to make; watch him be taken from their struggling family for little compensation, or pass off her talents as his own to make the magi pay more for taking him.

When her father’s life is put in danger by a terrifying debt collection agency with a record of people dying on their premises, Charlotte is forced to trick the most powerful people in the land to paying her family higher compensation in order to clear her father’s debt. But can she keep her own magical talents hidden and remain free herself?
