Summary: (Taken from Amazon)
Since his mother’s death six years ago, Carter Kane has been living out of a suitcase, traveling the globe with his father, the brilliant Egyptologist Dr. Julius Kane. But while Carter’s been homeschooled, his younger sister, Sadie, has been living with their grandparents in London. Sadie has just what Carter wants — school friends and a chance at a “normal” life. But Carter has just what Sadie longs for — time with their father. After six years of living apart, the siblings have almost nothing in common. Until now.
On Christmas Eve, Sadie and Carter are reunited when their father brings them to the British Museum, with a promise that he’s going to “make things right.” But all does not go according to plan: Carter and Sadie watch as Julius summons a mysterious figure, who quickly banishes their father and causes a fiery explosion.
Soon Carter and Sadie discover that the gods of Ancient Egypt are waking, and the worst of them — Set — has a frightening scheme. To save their father, they must embark on a dangerous journey — a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family and its links to the House of Life, a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs.

"Inkdeath" Finds the immortal, but slowly decaying Adderhead, his brother-in-law the Milksop, and his trusty right hand man The Piper ruling over the small village of Ombra, where Fenoglio, the three Folcharts plus an unborn child reside, and Farid works for an increasingly powerful Orpheus, who treats him like a slave while promising to read a dead Dustfinger back to life, in exchange for the Bluejay's (Mo's) life. Fenoglio, the author, gives up writing at the beginning of the book and grows increasingly drunken and senile. Farid gives up his fire at the beginning of the book after Dustfinger's death. Ombra is under constant threat by the Adderhead's men, who have killed every young adult male in the city, and regularly kidnap children to work them in the mines.

Prior to the Battle of Yuuzhan'tar that occurs in the novel, a series of events and other battles lead up to Supreme Overlord Shimrra's ultimate downfall, such as the Battle of Selvaris, the Battle of Caluula and the Battle of Dac. And as for the characters who hide on the living planet of Zonama Sekot since the events of the previous novel, which is still in transit in hyperspace, they recover Harrar, who was thought dead in his fight with the treacherous Nom Anor. They also realize that Zonama Sekot is actually the seed of the Yuuzhan Vong home planet, the original Yuuzhan'tar. When the Yuuzhan Vong's violent ways came to notice of their home planet, they were stripped of their Force sensitivity so they would never be detected or be able to contact the Force ever again.
