Return to Nagspeake for a new fantasy adventure from the bestselling author of National Book Award nominee Greenglass House.

Lucy Bluecrowne and Maxwell Ault are on a mission: find the three pieces of a strange and arcane engine they believe can stop the endless war raging between their home country of England and Napoleon Bonaparte’s France. During the search, however, their ship, the famous privateer the Left-Handed Fate, is taken by the Americans, who have just declared war on England, too. The Fate (and with it, Lucy and Max) is put under the command of new midshipman Oliver Dexter . . . who’s only just turned twelve.

But Lucy and Max aren’t the only ones trying to assemble the engine; the French are after it, as well as the crew of a mysterious vessel that seems able to appear out of thin air. When Oliver discovers what his prisoners are really up to—and how dangerous the device could be if it falls into the wrong hands—he is faced with a choice: Help Lucy and Max even if it makes him a traitor to his own country? Or follow orders and risk endangering countless lives, including those of the enemies who have somehow become his friends?

In the Enchantasia Emporium, a remarkable bookstore run by the enigmatic Mr. Kapriole, there exists a hidden treasure: a book that holds the power to transport readers to different worlds. "The Left-Handed Fate" by Kate Milford is one such book, inviting readers on an extraordinary journey through time and dimensions.

The story begins when a young girl named Lucy discovers an enchanted book in the Enchantasia Emporium. This book, titled "The Left-Handed Fate," transports Lucy to an extraordinary world filled with magic, adventure, and danger. Lucy finds herself in the midst of a battle between two powerful forces: the Left-Handed Path and the Right-Handed Path.

Lucy must choose a side and embark on a quest to save the world from destruction. Along the way, she meets an array of intriguing characters, including a talking cat, a wise owl, and a mysterious figure known as the Wanderer. She also encounters dangerous enemies, including the Shadow King and his army of darkness.

As Lucy delves deeper into the magical world of "The Left-Handed Fate," she discovers her own hidden strengths and abilities. She learns to harness her left-handed magic and use it to overcome challenges and protect her friends.
