È notte fonda, la pioggia avvolge ogni cosa nel suo pallore spettrale, quando alla porta di Meggie bussa uno straniero, e suo padre Mortimer inizia a fare i bagagli. Devono fuggire, nascondersi... ma da chi? Meggie ignora che il padre, abile rilegatore, ha il dono di infondere la vita nei libri: la sua voce trasforma le parole in carne e ossa. Tuttavia, dopo che anni prima proprio a causa della sua voce - sua moglie è scomparsa dentro a Cuore d'inchiostro , e Capricorno, malvagio signore dal cuore nero, si è materializzato dalle trame della carta, Mortimer non intende usare il proprio dono mai più. Capricorno trascinerà padre e figlia in un vortice di eventi, tanto magici quanto pericolosi. Finché Meggie scoprirà di avere lo stesso dono e il Mondo d'inchiostro li reclamerà a sé, trasformandoli a loro volta in personaggi. Ma davvero tutto è scritto? O forse nei libri, come nella vita vera, ognuno può scrivere la propria storia e cambiare il finale?

Ever since Jacob Reckless was a child, he has been escaping to a hidden world through a portal in his father's abandoned study. Over the years, he has made a name for himself as a finder of enchanted items and buried secrets. He's also made many enemies and allies--most important, Fox, a beautiful shape-shifting vixen whom Jacob cares for more than he lets on. But life in this other world is about to change. Tragedy strikes when Jacob's younger brother, Will, follows him through the portal. Brutally attacked, Will is infected with a curse that is quickly transforming him into a Goyl--a ruthless killing machine, with skin made of stone. Jacob is prepared to fight to save his brother, but in a land built on trickery and lies, Jacob will need all the wit, courage, and reckless spirit he can summon to reverse the dark spell--before it's too late.

Twelve-year-old Meggie learns that her father, who repairs and binds books for a living, can "read" fictional characters to life when one of those characters abducts them and tries to force him into service. Characters from books literally leap off the page in this engrossing fantasy. Meggie has had her father to herself since her mother went away when she was young. Mo taught her to read when she was five, and the two share a mutual love of books. He can "read" characters out of books. When she was three, he read aloud from a book called Inkheart and released characters into the real world. At the same time, Meggie's mother disappeared into the story. This "story within a story" will delight not just fantasy fans, but all readers who like an exciting plot with larger-than-life characters.
