What is inkdeath about?

Answer 1

ok in inkdeath Farid wants Dustfinger back and Orpheus agrees to read him back but under one condition Mo trades in his life. Mo summons the white woman and they bring him to the world of the dead. During this time Meggie believes her father is dead and becomes furious with both Farid and her mother Resa. In the world of the dead Mo meets Death itself and Death bargains with Mo. Mo must bring the Adderhead to death before Spring comes or Meggie and himself will die.

Mo wants to save the children so he trades himself in. Violante rescues him and brings him to the castle by the lake. The Adderhead goes after her while sending the Piper after the children. At the castle the Adderhead's men followed a passage and Violante's child soldiers get slaughtered. Resa shape-shifts into a swift and searches for the white book along with Dustfinger. Dustfinger betrays Mo but only for a short time to then betray the Adderhead. Under the Piper's supervision Mo works on a new White Book to replace the Adderhead's as slowly as possible for it is plain that the book should never be finished. The Adderhead's grandson Jacopo steals the White Book and secretly hands it to Mo. Mo writes the three words and the Adderhead dies.
