The Ship of Ishtar by A. Merritt is a sweeping fantasy adventure rooted in ancient mythology. A modern archaeologist discovers a mysterious, ancient model ship in a Mesopotamian ruin. When he touches it, he is magically transported into a timeless, supernatural realm aboard a massive, ghostly vessel sailing an eternal, misty sea—the Ship of Ishtar. The ship is locked in an endless conflict between the forces of Ishtar, goddess of love and war, and opposing dark powers. Trapped in this immortal, ageless world, the protagonist becomes entangled in divine intrigue, ancient curses, and a desperate struggle to break the ship’s eternal cycle. He encounters beautiful immortals, terrifying sorcery, and battles that span mortal and godly realms. Blending romance, epic adventure, and cosmic mythology, Merritt creates a lush, hypnotic tale of love, fate, and defiance against ancient, unyielding magic.
