Narrative:

After the refueling was complete I proceeded to check the weather for the planned flight. Once satisfied with my weather check I returned to the aircraft for departure. A quick pre-departure sump drain and walkaround was completed with no unusual signs and the engines were started. All in all the engines were shut down for just about 40 minutes.I was cleared to taxi to the runway. During the taxi all indications were normal. Upon reaching the runway I was cleared for takeoff with a left turn to a heading of 250. The weather was still clear cold skies with wind out of the northwest. The takeoff roll was normal. Upon reaching approximately 150 to 200 ft in the air; the aircraft went into a hard yaw and roll to the left. Immediate corrective action was made to stabilize the aircraft while it took my senses a couple more seconds to realize what was happening. Once realizing that I had an engine failure I proceeded with the engine failure procedure and feathered the left engine. When the aircraft was back under positive control I advised the tower who cleared us to land on any runway. I safely landed the aircraft on the runway with no further incident and exited onto the taxiway; where I shut down and was met by the tug.
