Mundo de Tinta é um universo onde ficção e realidade se confundem e também o nome da trilogia iniciada com o best-seller Coração de tinta, seguida de Sangue de tinta e que chega agora ao fim com Morte de tinta. Nesse universo, um "língua encantada" é alguém que, ao ler uma história em voz alta, tem o poder de trazer o mundo dos livros para a realidade, assim como viajar ele mesmo, e levar quem estiver por perto, para o mundo fantástico da palavra escrita. É o que aconteceu com Mo, um encadernador de livros, e sua família, quando um dia, ao ler em voz alta seu livro favorito - Coração de tinta -, ele manda a mulher para o mundo da ficção, trazendo em seu lugar alguns vilões da trama. Mo e sua filha Meggie acabaram transitando entre essa fronteira; viveram um bocado de aventuras nessas viagens e conheceram milhares de personagens incríveis - muitos deles malvados até a alma. Desta vez, com a ajuda de Dedo Empoeirado, Farid, Resa e Violante, Mo enfrenta o mais terrível de todos os vilões, o Cabeça de Víbora, numa batalha final, de vida ou morte. Mas, antes dela, personagens já conhecidos dos livros anteriores vivem suas aventuras. Fenoglio, o autor de Coração de tinta, tem que combater Orfeu, plagiador que se utiliza de passagens de seu livro para reescrever e manipular a história. Meggie, ao se apaixonar por Farid, se depara com as alegrias e decepções do primeiro amor. Resa, mãe de Meggie, traz em seu ventre um novo herdeiro. E Mortimer, nosso herói, que no Mundo de tinta assume a personalidade do Gaio, espécie de Robin Hood, tem que lutar contra o próprio personagem que interpreta, já que pouco a pouco começa a se confundir com ele e a se esquecer de quem é no mundo real.

Tagein, tagaus nichts tun, hübsch aussehen und sich gut benehmen - das kann auf die Dauer ganz schön langweilig sein. So schön ist es gar nicht, Prinzessin zu sein. Isabella, jüngste von drei Schwestern, war es jedenfalls leid, immer nur in feinen Kleidern und mit einer Krone auf dem Kopf herumzulaufen. Wie sollte man damit auf Bäume klettern! "Prinzessinnen klettern nicht auf Bäume!" wetterte ihr Vater, der König. Aber da kam er bei seiner Jüngsten gerade recht. "Ja, ja, ja", rief Isabella. "Prinzessinnen tun überhaupt nichts, was Spaß macht. Nicht mal in der Nase bohren!" Da stampfte der König mit dem Fuß auf und befahl, dass man seine Tochter zum Kartoffelschälen und Zwiebelschneiden in die Küche bringen sollte. Isabella gefiel es in der Küche, und als sie nach drei Tagen immer noch nicht geläutert war, ließ der König sie in den Schweinestall bringen. Im Schweinestall gefiel es Isabella noch besser. Sie blieb sogar nachts. Da begriff der König, dass er verloren hatte. "Komm zurück ins Schloss, Töchterchen", seufzte er. "Ich vermisse dich." Isabella tat ihm den Gefallen. Ihm zuliebe setzte sie sogar ab und zu die Krone auf. Aber zwischendurch schlief sie immer mal wieder im Stall.
