After years of award-winning writing for global media giants Disney and Hit Entertainment, Cheryl Ammeter has summoned her wildest imaginings to build the fantasy world of Aether. Armed with a host of deeply drawn characters, spectacular settings, and extravagant contraptions, Ammeter's debut novel grabs readers by the imagination and pulls them into the adventures of a spirited young girl at the crossroads of duty and destiny.
From the beginning, Ivey Thornton was different. Born with a knack for raising a ruckus and an uncanny gift for cheating death, Ivey is better suited to follow in her father's footsteps than in her mother's. But after the Thorntons arrange her marriage to the son of a departed friend, Ivey is forced into a secret bargain with her father. She must help Miles Fenchurche break free from the burdens of an inherited empire in return for ending their engagement and winning her own independence.
During the eventful voyage to the Fenchurche estate, Ivey discovers that nothing aboard the titanic airship Monarch is as it seems. Macabre dreams and visions threaten to awaken a deadly side of her nature. In spite of her escalating peculiarities, Ivey discovers that she can rely on a new circle of friends who appreciate her strength and courage, and trust at their own risk that her better instincts will prevail. When diabolical shape shifters begin to attack the ship's passengers, Miles proves himself to be a man of substance and a keen scientific thinker -- much like Ivey herself. The star-crossed pair's efforts to save the Monarch set the stage for a heroic battle to defend their world as the Aether's Edge pentalogy begins to unfold.
The revised second edition of Ivey and the Airship from Pantala Press offers a deeper dive into the world of Aether, including a new cover designed Pantala Press Creative Director Bob West, plus all-new, detailed graphics and illustrations.
