When her true love, Steven, is forced to break their magical bond, Noli Braddock decides to join her brother on the crew of the Vixen’s Revenge.

With its gleaming brass, dark wood, and spotless clockwork gears, the Vixen’s Revenge is a beautiful airship. But Noli discovers a dangerous secret beneath its polished exterior—the crew has been hired to steal dozens of priceless Otherworld artifacts. Desperate to keep her past Otherworld experiences hidden from the airship crew, Noli fears that if she doesn’t risk telling her own secrets, the stolen artifacts will be used to destroy both of the worlds she loves.

Praise:
“[Lazear’s] imagination soars as high as her airship, and it will have readers hooked.”—Kirkus Reviews

      This second book in the Aether Chronicles takes to the air with, fortunately, a far more even balance between steampunk and romance than the previous installment (Innocent Darkness, 2012). Sixteen-year-old Noli has escaped from the fairyland Otherworld and returned to Los Angeles, where she lives with her mother in an alternate-history 1901. Her sweetheart, V, a prince of the Otherworld, breaks off their romance on orders from his awful mother, the queen, who then sends V and his brother on a quest to find a unique new toy for her. Meanwhile, mechanically inclined Noli signs on as engineer to her brother Jeff's pirate airship. Her path will cross with that of V and Kevighn, a huntsman from the Otherworld. However, Noli was joined with a little sprite in the previous book, and the silly thing takes her over at inopportune times, making Noli appear frivolous at best and crazy at worst. Lazear has not yet achieved a mature writing style and at times displays extremely awkward phrasing. However, her imagination soars as high as her airship, and it will have readers hooked. Yes, it could use some tightening up, but it's still plenty of fun. (Steampunk. 12 & up)
