Inkspell by Cornelia Funke (Paperback)

Inkspell is the spellbinding second instalment in Cornelia Funke’s internationally celebrated Inkworld trilogy, continuing the story that began with Inkheart. A year after the extraordinary events that brought book characters into the real world, Meggie cannot stop thinking about the power of stories and the cost they carry.

For Dustfinger, the fire-eater who longs for the world he was torn from, life outside the pages has become unbearable. His desperation leads him to a crooked storyteller with a rare and dangerous gift: the ability to read people back into books. This single act sets off a chain of events that draws Meggie and others into the Inkworld itself.

Within this richly imagined realm, rival princes and rebels fight for control, and familiar characters are forced to face the consequences of choices made in both worlds. As the lines between story and reality blur, Meggie begins to see that the magic of books can be as perilous as it is powerful.

Inkspell is a gripping fantasy about loyalty, betrayal, and the enduring pull of stories. It deepens the mythology of the Inkworld while exploring the risks of shaping narratives that can no longer be controlled.
