"Inkdeath" (German title "Tintentod") is the third book in the Inkworld trilogy. No plot details have been given by author Cornelia Funke, but it will resume only a few weeks after "Inkspell" left off; Farid and Meggie's mission of bringing Dustfinger, who died at the end of "Inkspell", back to life. Cornelia Funke has confirmed that Dustfinger will come back in "Inkdeath". The story will revolve around Meggie and Farid's quest. Funke has said in an interview that characters like Orpheus and Violante will play a larger role in the book. It is expected to be the last novel about Inkworld. In an interview, one of the questions asked was "Will Meggie and Farid stay together?" In answer, Cornelia replied "there will be another boy...", whose name was revealed as Doria. She preferes him to Farid because of his kind attentiveness, and he brings her flowers when she's sad. __TOC__

Plot Summary

Plot SummaryBook review [1] --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 Piper kidnaps all the children in the kingdom, dooming them to slavery in his silver mines unless Mo surrends. He does this as bait for the BlueJay. Mo surrenders and has a plan, Violante is apart of his alliance and wants to take down her father with him. The magpie confronts Orpheus making him part of her own alliance to take down the Adderhead, along with forcing Mo to bring her son back. The Adderhead must die in order for Mo and Dustfinger to stay aliver, the deal made by Death itself(shapeshifter and a woman). There are human nests where the children are taken to after their hiding place had been revealed to the Milksop. The black Prince dies in this scene. The Adderhead tries to make a deal with The Bluejay to bind him another book, and then Mo's name would be placed in the old one and rott(die).
