From Kate Milford, the bestselling author of National Book Award nominee Greenglass House, comes another magical, middle-grade adventure, The Left-Handed Fate.

Lucy Bluecrowne and Maxwell Ault are on a mission: find the three pieces of a strange and arcane engine. They re not exactly sure what this machine does, but they have it on good authority that it will stop the war that s raging between their home country of England and Napoleon Bonaparte s France. Despite being followed by mysterious men dressed all in black, they re well on their way to finding everything they need when their ship, the famous Left-Handed Fate, is taken by the Americans.

And not just any Americans. The Fate (and with it, Lucy and Max) are put under the command of Oliver Dexter, who s only just turned twelve.

But Lucy and Max aren t the only ones trying to put the engine together, and if the pieces fall into the wrong hands, it could prove disastrous. Oliver is faced with a choice: help Lucy and Max and become a traitor to his country? Or follow orders and risk endangering that same country and many others at the same time--not to mention his friends?

This world has a seductive, fairytale quality--Patrick O Brian s Captain Aubrey series as seen through the lens of Hayao Miyazaki. . . It s impossible not to admire The Left-Handed Fate for its epic scope, joyful evocation of life on the high seas and suspenseful mystery. --The New York Times Book Review
