The Left-Handed Booksellers of London

From the bestselling author of Angel Mage, this new fantasy adventure set in 1980s London follows one girl's quest to find her father, leading her to a secret society of magical fighting booksellers who police the mythical Old World when it disastrously intrudes into the modern world.

Set in 1980s London, The Left-Handed Booksellers of London follows eighteen-year-old Susan Arkshaw's quest to find her father, leading her to a secret society of left-handed, magical fighting booksellers who police the mythical Old World when it disastrously intrudes on the modern world.

Susan arrives in London to find answers, but before she can question crime boss Frank Thringley, he's turned to dust by the prick of a silver hatpin in the hands of the outrageously attractive Merlin.

This version of Merlin is an enigmatic, gender shape-shifter, proving once again why the bestselling author of Angel Mage is a master of weaving modern themes into classic fantasy.
