Copper and Magic - Skyward Chronicles Book 1

Dalia Sinclair was expelled from the Aeronautical War Academy for her unstable magic, she was meant to vanish quietly—along with the half-scrapped airship she was tasked to deliver to a junkyard. But the Crimson Gull never reaches Northyard Point. A violent, otherworldly storm and a pulsating crystal with a life of its own shatter her simple mission. Thrust into a chaos of pirate ambushes and an academy steeped in hidden conspiracies, Dalia and her motley crew are hurled beyond familiar skies into realms where breaches in reality threaten to tear everything apart. Marked as the Bearer of an ancient, transformative artifact, her raw magic begins to shift—awakening senses and abilities she never knew she had. Now, as interdimensional breaches close in and a ruthless pirate captain and shadowy forces conspire against her, Dalia must confront a destiny far greater than exile. ⚙️ Copper and Magic is a steampunk fantasy of skyships, treacherous magic, and interdimensional intrigue—a high-flying adventure for readers who love involuntary heroines, fiercely loyal crews, and a destiny that rewrites the rules of reality.
