Broken Sky (Skies of Cyrna Book 1) by Morgan K Bell

SFFOasis SPFBO8

Dorian Valmont is the sorriest excuse for an aeronaut the crew of skyship Phoenix has ever seen. Forced to flee his home to protect his magical inheritance from the machinations of his ambitious stepfather, awkward misfit Dorian finds himself poorly suited to the rigors of life in the sky. But when an exiled dragon finds him, injured and desperate for help, Dorian learns it’s not enough merely to run away. Dorian must learn to fight back. Caught between forces that seek to use or destroy him, Dorian must train and adapt if he wants to survive. But if he can, he might just hold the key to restoring the world’s faltering magic — or destroying it once and for all.
