  1. 1. Inkheart / Inkspell / Inkdeath

    A young girl, Meggie, discovers that her father has a dangerous gift: when he reads aloud from books, characters and objects can be pulled into the real world — a power that once freed deadly villains and trapped others inside the story. Forced to confront returned antagonists, make uneasy alliances with a fire-eating exile and the book’s embittered creator, and unravel schemes woven between two worlds, Meggie and her family race to save those taken and prevent the barrier between fiction and reality from collapsing, all while learning that storytelling itself can heal or destroy.
