2024 LOCUS AWARD FINALIST, BEST FANTASY NOVEL

Howarth, 1846.

In a parsonage at the edge of the moors, a widowed rector lives with his family: three daughters and their dissolute brother, Bramwell.

Though the future will celebrate Charlotte, Emily and Anne, right now they are unknown, their genius concealed. In just a few short years they will all be dead, and it will be middle sister Emily’s chance encounter with a grievously wounded man on the moor that sets them on the path to their doom.

For there is an ancient pagan secret haunting the moors, a dark inheritance in the family bloodline and something terrible buried under an ogham-inscribed slab in the church. Not only are their lives at stake, but their very souls.

My Brother’s Keeper is an atmospheric gothic novel that mixes diabolical hatred and vengeance with the supreme power of love to conjure dark magic from the tragic fate of the Brontë sisters.

Reviews for My Brother's Keeper

This is a masterly, compelling, and moving tale that places Tim Powers among the greatest fantasy writers of his or any generation. Countless novels have involved the Bronte family, but none would so surely please and enchant them as this one. My Brother's Keeper is a pure delight. -- Dean Koontz My Brother's Keeper is a masterpiece of gothic secret history. Tim Powers' version of what really took the Brontë sisters before their time wraps like mist around your ankles, steals your sense of reality, and draws you deep into the dark heart of the mesmerising power of the moors. The ending will break your heart and you'll be glad it did. This is the Emily Brontë I always wanted. -- Nicola Griffith Tim Powers is a genius, in a genre entirely his own, and I have been waiting for novel for the past twenty years. If you never experienced Powers then do yourself a favour and run to the nearest bookshop - you'll be in for a treat! -- Lavie Tidhar
