Curse The Left Hand

Synopsis

From Veronica Roth, the legendary author of the Divergent series, Curse the Left Hand is the epic sequel to Seek the Traitor's Son, a tale of war, fate and devastating love.

Fate is complicated.

Elegy Ahn learned that lesson the hard way when the augurs prophesied that she would lead her people to victory over their enemies, the Talusar — and her life quickly unraveled.

Now fate has put her on a spaceship hurtling towards an unknown destination. Now fate reveals itself to her through visions as a newly-made augur herself.

As Elegy gets closer to the doorway in the stars, she has no more clarity into what waits on the other side or how this spacefaring adventure will lead to the defeat of the Talusar. And even worse, she is plagued by visions of death and destruction, as cryptic as they are disturbing. Until she sees one that inspires hope: Theren, her fated love, happy and healthy.

A galaxy of unknowns lies between Elegy and that future. But she’ll do anything to reach it — even if it means deciding between protecting her heart and protecting her people.

Reviews

I fall headfirst into every world Veronica Roth creates and Seek the Traitor's Son is no exception – it's her most compelling work to date. The pace is gripping, the scale of storytelling is sweeping, and the romance between the two leads is an agonizing crescendo, from charged restraint to exquisite surrender. Veronica Roth knows exactly how to break your heart – and I, for one, will gladly let her do itOlivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six
