Swordplay, dragon magic--and a hero with a desperate secret
Twelve-year-old Eon has been in training for years. His intensive study of Dragon Magic,, based on East Asian astrology, involves two kinds of skills: sword-work and magical aptitude. He and his master hope that he will be chosen as a Dragoneye--an apprentice to one of the twelve energy dragons of good fortune.
But Eon has a dangerous secret. He is actually Eona, a sixteen-year-old girl who has been masquerading as a boy for the chance to become a Dragoneye. Females are forbidden to use Dragon Magic; if anyone discovers she has been hiding in plain sight, her death is assured.
When Eon's secret threatens to come to light, she and her allies are plunged into grave danger and a deadly struggle for the Imperial throne. Eon must find the strength and inner power to battle those who want to take her magic...and her life.
Feelings:
I really enjoyed this book. It follows a boy who is training to be coming become Dragoneye. Eon has secrets though and when he is picked by the Mirror Dragon, who has been absent for over 500 years, those secrets threaten to undo all the work he has done to become a Dragoneye. Because Eon is really Eona and girls are not allowed to be part of the Dragon lords nor are they supposed to have standing in the kingdom.
I greatly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the second book Eona.
