Return to the enchanting world of The Left-Handed Booksellers of London in this sequel by Garth Nix, bestselling master of teen fantasy.

There is often trouble of a mythical sort in Bath. The booksellers who police the Old World keep a careful watch there, particularly on the entity who inhabits the ancient hot spring. Yet this time it is not from Sulis Minerva that trouble starts. It comes from the discovery of a sorcerous map, leading left-handed bookseller Merlin into great danger. A desperate rescue is attempted by his sister the right-handed bookseller, Vivien, and their friend, art student Susan Arkshaw, who is still struggling to deal with her own recently discovered magical heritage. The map takes the trio to a place separated from this world, maintained by deadly sorcery performed by an ancient sovereign and guarded by monstrous living statues of Portland Stone. But this is only the beginning. But this is only the beginning. To unravel the secrets of a murderous Ancient Sovereign, the booksellers must investigate centuries of disappearances and deaths. If they do not stop her, she will soon kill again. And this time, her target is not an ordinary mortal.

'A compelling magical romp, both familiar and inventive. These bookshops would be worth visiting at any time – but they feel like a special treat while I can’t set foot in a real one.'
Molly Templeton, Tor.com

'[An] immersive fantasy. Nix builds meta mentions [and] marries fey elements and spectacular bookshops with booksellers who wield mystical artifacts, cold steel and magic. Unflappable Susan and wonderfully costumed, magically gender-fluid Merlin make for a fantasy that genre fans, teen or adult, won’t want to miss.'
Publishers Weekly

'This satisfying sequel keeps up the same breathless pace as The Left-Handed Booksellers of London. It's a treat to rejoin Susan and company on their ever-expanding adventures.'
Booklist

'Nix wastes no time getting to the action, throwing readers headlong into the splendid new world alongside the bewildered but determined heroine. [...] A remarkable romp through a fantastical new world.'
Booklist

'The worldbuilding is exquisite – the broad, immersive world and the specific rules for types of booksellers maintain a sense of discovery, and Susan and Merlin, the heroic protagonists, have vibrant, entertaining personalities (and a realistic romantic storyline).'
Kirkus Reviews

'A warm, whimsical delight – The Left-Handed Booksellers of London is a witty, clever adventure in an exquisitely detailed world you will love escaping into.'
Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Divergent series
