Inkdeath

by Cornelia Funke

The Inkworld is falling into shadow—and Mortimer Folchart must write a new ending before the Adderhead rewrites history.

Life in the Inkworld has been far from easy since the extraordinary events of Inkspell, when the story of Inkheart magically drew Meggie, Mo and Dustfinger back into its pages. With Dustfinger dead, and the evil Adderhead now in control, the story in which they are all caught has taken an unhappy turn. Even Elinor, left alone in the real world, believes her family to be lost-lost between the covers of a book. But as winter comes on there is reason to hope-if only Meggie and Mo can rewrite the wrongs of the past and make a dangerous pact with death.

What this book is about

In the concluding Inkworld novel, the Adderhead has used the White Book to become immortal—but his immortality is bringing death to the world around him. Mo (Silvertongue) must write new words into the Book to reverse the curse, while the Bluejay legend he has become takes on a life of its own. Funke's conclusion is ambitious and dark, with genuine consequences for characters the series has built over three volumes.
