The masterful conclusion to the epic; award-winning; NYT bestselling INKHEART trilogy by internationally acclaimed author Cornelia Funke. The Adderhead--his immortality bound in a book by Meggie's father; Mo--has ordered his henchmen to plunder the villages. The peasants' only defense is a band of outlaws led by the Bluejay--Mo's fictitious double; whose identity he has reluctantly adopted. But the Book of Immortality is unraveling; and the Adderhead again fears the White Women of Death. To bring the renegade Bluejay back to repair the book; the Adderhead kidnaps all the children in the kingdom; dooming them to slavery in his silver mines unless Mo surrenders. First Dustfinger; now Mo: Can anyone save this cursed story?
