Brother’s Ruin by Emma NewmanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Brother's Ruin is the first novel in Newman's Industrial Magic series, set in 1850 London where people who have magic within themselves become members of the Royal Society of Esoteric Arts. The mission of this society: to seek other mages, train them, and place where needed to protect the Queen as well as making sure things are running smoothly in all of Great Britain. There are certain things one must give up to become part of the Society. Charlotte Gunn, the most powerful mages of her time, is not willing to abandon her dreams. Everyone knows what will happen to those who knowingly withhold their “gifts,” so Charlotte decides to play her weak brother’s caretaker in order to carry out her plans to marry her beloved George. All this changes the day Charlotte finds out that her family is about to lose everything, including her father! You can follow Charlotte's continuing story in the second book in this charming and adventurous series, The Weaver's Lament.
