Inkdeath

The Inkworld has grown bleak since the events of Inkspell, when Meggie and her father Mo were pulled into the pages of the enchanted book Inkheart. The fire-eater Dustfinger has died after giving his life to save his apprentice Farid. Under the cruel Adderhead, the fairy-tale realm has collapsed into violence, and its characters have slipped beyond the grasp of Fenoglio, the man who wrote them. Meanwhile, Elinor remains in the real world, convinced that her loved ones are trapped inside a story.

With an endless winter closing in, Mo strikes a risky bargain with Death. The only chance to rewrite the doomed tale lies in filling its pages quickly enough. This is the third and final book of the Inkheart trilogy by Cornelia Funke.
