The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner

Eugenides is back doing what he does best: stealing. But how does one steal away the magus of Sounis, the queen of Attolia, and threat of war? And how does one do this with just one hand?

The queen of Attolia has had it. She won't tolerate Eugenides in her palace any longer. When her guards capture him, she orders that his right hand be cut off. Eugenides is sent home a cripple. He spends his days confined to his room, practicing his handwriting and staring at his fireplace, and while Eugenides is idle, his country is on the verge of war with both Attolia and Sounis. He wants to help, but what can a one-handed thief do?
