In this Aurealis Award-winning young adult fantasy, a teen girl masquerading as a boy is determined to become a Dragoneye, despite the fact that if her secret is discovered . . . she will die.

“I loved it. Can’t wait for the sequel!”—Tamora Pierce

“Absolutely stunning . . . Full of palace intrigue and political maneuvering, soul-searching and tragic loss, trust and betrayal, and swashbuckling adventure of the first order.”—Orson Scott Card, Hugo Award-winning author of Ender’s Game

She has a powerful secret . . . with deadly consequences.

For years, Eon’s life has been focused on magical study and sword-work, with one goal: that he 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 twelve-year-old boy. Females are forbidden to use Dragon Magic; the penalty is death.

When Eona’s secret threatens to come to light, she and her allies are plunged into grave danger and a struggle for the Imperial throne. Eona must find the strength and inner power to battle those who want to take her magic . . . and her life.

“Includes plenty of exciting sword fights and plot reversals, and the dragons themselves, which only mystics of Eon’s ability can see, are beautifully described.”—The New York Times

“Absolutely stunning . . . Full of palace intrigue and political maneuvering, soul-searching and tragic loss, trust and betrayal, and swashbuckling adventure of the first order.”—Orson Scott Card, Hugo Award-winning author of Ender’s Game

“Eon is wonderful, with its whirlwind of gender exploration, imperial ambition, dragon lore and dissection of nature versus nurture.”—Los Angeles Times

“This mesmerizing story begins where most novels end: in a tension-filled climactic event . . . A world so richly imagined that it feels real.”—Booklist, starred review
