Inkbound - Inkbound (3) – Inkbound: Meticulous Jones and the Storm Heart
The third and final extraordinary magical adventure about family, fate and finding the courage to be truly yourself – perfect for fans of Nevermoor, Lemony Snicket and The Swifts.
A new flying city is about to take to the skies, and the celebrations are spectacular, fizzing with magic. But everything changes when the shadowy Black Moths launch a deadly attack, plunging the city into darkness and bringing Metty face to face with her estranged mother. Daphne claims that she wants to escape the Black Moths, but can Metty trust her after everything she’s done?
Travelling from the vibrant streets of New Cairo to the eccentric alleyways of New London, to New Oslo’s breathtaking crystal mountain, Metty and her friends must embark on an epic, globe-trotting mission across flying cities to finally stop the Black Moths once and for all.
