Left-Handed Booksellers of London

The Left-Handed Booksellers of London (Left-Handed Booksellers of London #1) by Garth Nix

In a London where the mundane and the mystical collide, the Left-Handed Booksellers of London series takes readers on a whirlwind adventure through a city steeped in hidden magic and ancient lore. This isn’t your typical urban fantasy—here, magical booksellers are not just librarians, but fierce protectors of reality, guarding against the wild forces of the Old World that constantly threaten to spill into the present.

At the heart of the story is Susan Arkshaw, an art student whose search for her mysterious father plunges her into this secretive world. What begins as a personal quest quickly becomes something much more dangerous as she finds herself entangled with a family of magical beings, each with their own role in keeping the balance between the supernatural and the everyday. But the booksellers have their own agendas, and not everyone can be trusted.

Enter Merlin, the charming and unpredictable left-handed bookseller, who uses both his considerable fighting skills and his magical prowess to protect the city from lurking threats. Together with his intellectual and savvy sister Vivien, Merlin helps Susan navigate a landscape where magical creatures, ancient prophecies, and hidden truths are just a few of the dangers that await.
