Eon: Dragoneye Reborn
Book 1 of the Eon series
Sixteen-year-old Eona has spent years disguised as the twelve-year-old boy Eon because women are forbidden to practice the empire's dragon magic. Despite a damaged hip and limited prospects, she competes for selection as a Dragoneye apprentice who can channel one of twelve energy dragons. Her unexpected connection to the long-missing Mirror Dragon thrusts her into palace politics where revealing her sex could mean death. Immersive and intense, this young-adult fantasy suits readers who enjoy Asian-inspired courts, concealed identity, dragons, political maneuvering, and heroines forced to decide how much of themselves they can suppress in order to wield power.
