Synopsis: Sky of Darkness

In the land of Rea D'asara, a mysterious power called the Darkness rampages across the land, destroying all in its wake. While the most powerful magi in the country struggle to find a way to stop it, others, like wicked King Jerhan, will stop but nothing to use it for their own benefit. However, over a decade ago, dragonrider Cyrus Bromstead predicted such a power might come about, and dedicated himself to researching it, and finding the cure.

Unfortunately, Cyrus Bromstead is dead. In his place is his son, Dorian, who is very eager to carry on his father's work and defeat the darkness and stop the evil king and, if he's lucky, marry the queen, for whom he's quite smitten. The only problem is that Dorian is exceptionally clumsy, horridly out of shape, and hasn't the slightest clue what he's doing. While travelling on an airship with an old friend of his father's and searching for clues to defeating the Darkness, Dorian struggles every day to improve his woeful abilities. But when their airship crash lands in an enchanted forest and they become involved in the struggle of the winged Arith people, Dorian learns that the Darkness, and the situation in the capitol, is far more sinister than he could have possibly imagined.
