Book #2 in the Inkworld series
A fire-eater seeks to return to his story, dragging others into a world where tales dangerously evolve.
Meggie can't forget the book that brought characters to life. Dustfinger, a fire-eater, desperately seeks a way back into his story. Leaving his apprentice Farid behind, he finds a storyteller who can read him into the medieval world of his past. Farid, distraught, seeks Meggie's help, and soon they are both ensnared within the book's pages. But the story is changing, and the new twists could alter their fates forever. Can they navigate this evolving tale, or will they be trapped in a narrative beyond their control?
Although a year has passed, not a day goes by without Meggie thinking of INKHEART, the book whose characters became real. But for Dustfinger, the fire-eater brought into being from words, the need to return to the tale has become desperate. When he finds a crooked storyteller with the ability to read him back, Dustfinger leaves behind his young apprentice Farid and plunges into the medieval world of his past. Distraught, Farid goes in search of Meggie, and before long, both are caught inside the book, too. But the story is threatening to evolve in ways neither of them could ever have imagined.
