Eon Dragoneye Reborn

by Alison Goodman
An ancient kingdom centers on twelve dragons, and each dragon rules one year within a twelve year cycle. Each dragon works through a DragonEye, a human man chosen by the dragon to harness the dragon’s energy.

Although Eon is crippled, he hopes to be chosen as the Rat Dragon’s apprentice. He has trained for years and has the unusual power to see all eleven dragons in the kingdom. Eon is only able to see eleven dragons because the Mirror Dragon has been missing for several hundred years.

Despite the physical disability of being crippled, Eon has even a larger problem. Eon is not a boy, but a girl – Eona. The secret of Eon’s gender is only known by Eona herself and her master. If the political leaders discover a girl was trying to become a DragonEye apprentice, Eona would be killed. Despite her secret, Eon performs at the Rat Dragon’s ceremony, hoping to be chosen by the Rat Dragon. Eon is not chosen, yet as Eon starts to leave the stadium, the long-missing Mirror Dragon returns and chooses her as DragonEye apprentice.

Eon now holds a place of power in the kingdom and must keep her gender secret. Will Eon be able to keep her secret from other DragonEyes? Why did the Mirror Dragon appear and claim Eon?
Personal Thoughts: Fantastic! I cannot wait to read Eona The Last Dragoneye!
