What she doesn't tell the prince is that if three words are written in the book-heart, spell, death-the Adderhead will die instantly. Meggie, Resa, and Mo all end up in the Adderhead's castle (the Castle of Night), while Meggie has made a bargain with the Adderhead that she will bind him a book of immortality if he lets her, Resa, Mo, and the other strolling players he has captured go. Mo and Resa are captured and Mo is unable to escape because of his fatal wound. Now the Adderhead is out to get him, waiting to hang him or kill his family in front of him. Fenoglio is now living within his own story and he makes Meggie read Cosimo the Fair back into the story since he died, Meggie being kissed by Farid shortly after. Resa and Mo are hiding with the strolling players, but now they have discovered that the injured Mo is the mysterious gentleman-robber, the "Bluejay", created by Fenoglio, the Inkweaver's words. Resa discovers that her voice has come back to her. Mortola gets a modern rifle, and shoots Mo, thinking that she has killed him and leaves. Orpheus reads Basta, Mortola, Mo, and Resa into Inkheart. Suddenly, Mortola, Basta, Orpheus, and a "man built like a wardrobe" barge into Elinor's house, and take Mo, Resa, Elinor, and Darius prisoner, while Meggie and Farid have no idea what is happening in the other world. But this time, Meggie has figured out how to read herself and Farid into the book Inkheart. Soon Farid convinces Meggie to read him into the book so he can warn Dustfinger of Basta, and then becomes his apprentice once more. When he finds a self-absorbed psycho storyteller, Orpheus, who can read him back into the book, he goes into the pages, but Orpheus doesn't read Farid back into the book like he was supposed to, because he leaves the word "boy" out. Dustfinger wants to go back to his wife, Roxanne, and his daughters who are in the story. She helps to kill Capricorn and his entourage with the power of her reading talent.Ī year has passed, but not a day goes by without Meggie thinking of Inkheart. Meggie soon discovers she has the same talent as her father when she summons the monster known as "The Shadow" out of the book. He then forces Mo to read treasures out of books, since his useless reader, Darius, could not do it. The three of them eventually leave to hide at Meggie's great-aunt Elinor's house in Northern Italy but end up being dragged off by Basta and his companions to the near village of Capricorn, because Dustfinger betrayed them as Capricorn promised him he would help him go back home. After many years Dustfinger returns to pay Meggie and her father a visit, advising them to flee the country to escape Capricorn and his followers who are in search of Mo and his Inkheart copy. Mo once brought four characters of a book entitled Inkheart to life while reading from the novel, including Dustfinger, his pet marten Gwin Capricorn, the book's villain and Basta, Capricorn's right-hand man-in bitter exchange for his wife Teresa (later known as Resa), who disappeared without a trace into the so-called Inkworld of the book. In Inkheart, the twelve-year-old, Meggie, discovers that her father Mo, a professional bookbinder, has the unusual ability to transfer characters from books into the real world when he reads aloud-they call those with this ability "Silvertongue". Initially conceived as a trilogy, a sequel, The Colour of Revenge ( German: Die Farbe der Rache), will be published in October 2023 in Germany. In 2004, Funke sold the film rights to all three books to New Line Cinema thus far, the first book has been made into a motion picture, which was released in December 2008. Originally released in German-speaking Europe, the third book, entitled Inkdeath, was released in an English translation by Anthea Bell in October 2008. Mostly set in Northern Italy and the parallel world of the fictional Inkheart book, the central story arc concerns the magic of books, their characters and creatures, and the art of reading. The books chronicle the adventures of teen Meggie Folchart whose life changes dramatically when she realizes that she and her father, a bookbinder named Mo, have the unusual ability to bring characters from books into the real world when reading aloud. The Inkheart series is a succession of four fantasy novels written by German author Cornelia Funke, comprising Inkheart (2003), Inkspell (2005), Inkdeath (2007), and The Colour of Revenge (2023).
