Narrative:
Descended starting about 65 mi west of fargo out of 21000 ft for my destination. Went into an overcast layer. All ice equipment was actuated and operational. Shortly after entering IMC I had an engine failure on the left side. There were annunciators that the left side had lost power -- left engine oil light. I secured the left engine and landed without incident. I may have gone slightly north of course in my descent while managing the equipment failure.
