Words, images, and a long-awaited reckoning

Set five years after the events of *Inkdeath*, this fourth Inkheart novel returns to Meggie, Mo, Dustfinger, and Ombra after a period of peace. Orpheus’s pursuit of revenge brings a new threat: bewitched portraits designed to drain the heroes of color. The conflict puts the series’ familiar connection between words and magic alongside a new danger rooted in images, while Dustfinger must confront fears tied to whether words still answer to Orpheus. The book extends the trilogy’s world through the consequences of its earlier events and shifts the central peril toward the power of art.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who have followed the Inkheart trilogy and want to revisit its characters and world.
  • Middle-grade fantasy readers interested in stories where words, magic, and art shape the conflict.
  • Readers drawn to fantasy plots involving revenge and the aftermath of earlier events.

Book overview

Vengeance awaits in the follow up to the epic, award-winning, New York Times bestselling Inkheart trilogy by internationally acclaimed author Cornelia Funke.

 

Five years after the events of Inkdeath, Meggie, Mo, and the people of Ombra lead peaceful lives, their fires warmed by the flames of Dustfinger--the Fire-Dancer. But when Dustfinger spots Orpheus's glass man within the gates of Ombra, a familiar restlessness begins to haunt him once more. And for good reason...

 

The past five years have been a different story for Orpheus, who has spent his days living a meager and deprived existence, fueled only by his thirst for revenge against Dustfinger and all those who betrayed him. Now, Orpheus has found an unexpected way to seek vengeance against his greatest adversary. He has corrupted an artist to create bewitched portraits that will see the heroes fade to gray.

 

When Dustfinger's deepest fears come true, he'll have to figure out whether the words still obey Orpheus. Or if he should be afraid of the pictures this time...
