Description
Meggie's quiet life with her bookbinder father is shattered when a mysterious stranger arrives, revealing a dangerous secret about her father's past. He possesses a rare and powerful gift: the ability to bring characters from books into the real world when he reads aloud. This extraordinary talent, however, has drawn the attention of a sinister figure from a beloved, yet dark, fantasy novel, who seeks to exploit this magic for his own wicked ends. Now, Meggie finds herself entangled in a thrilling chase, where the lines between fiction and reality blur, and the fate of her father, and perhaps even the world, rests on the power of stories.
