Life in the Inkworld has been far from easy since the extraordinary events of Inkspell, when the story of Inkheart magically drew Meggie, Mo and Dustfinger back into its pages. With Dustfinger dead, and the evil Adderhead in control, the story in which they are all caught has taken an unhappy turn. Elinor, left alone in the real world, believes her family to be lost - lost between the covers of a book. But as winter comes there is reason to hope - if only Meggie and Mo can rewrite the wrongs of the past and make a dangerous deal with death...
One cruel night, Meggie's father, Mo, reads aloud from INKHEART, and an evil ruler named Capricorn escapes the boundaries of fiction, landing instead in their living room. Suddenly, Meggie's in the middle of the kind of adventure she thought only took place in fairy tales. Somehow she must master the magic that has conjured up this nightmare. Can she change the course of the story that has changed her life forever
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.

Ты совершаешь глубокую философскую ошибку, Колин. Реальный мир, это кванты, электроны, протоны, нейтроны и атомы, в общем - вся та хрень, которой занимаются физики в лабораториях. А то, о чем ты говоришь – политическое влияние, коррупция, индонезийская полиция, американское FBI, и даже те доллары, которыми достигается политическое влияние – это кино. Это вымысел, который существует лишь постольку, поскольку миллионы людей в это верят. Да, Колин. Миллионы людей верят во всякую ерунду: в доллары и демократию, в бога и ангелов, в полицию и спецслужбы, в агента Купера, борца с инопланетянами, и в Санта Клауса с северными оленями. Наш Ктулху, кошмарный пришелец с темных звезд, спящий в древней каменной цитадели, не менее достоверен, чем все эти штучки.
