Eon has been studying the ancient art of Dragon Magic for four years, hoping he’ll become apprentice to one of the twelve energy dragons of good fortune. But he also has a dark secret. He is actually Eona, a sixteen-year-old girl who has been living a dangerous lie for the chance to become a Dragoneye, the human link to an energy dragon’s power. It is forbidden for females to practise the Dragon Magic and, if discovered, Eon faces a terrible death. But after a brilliant sword ceremony, Eon is catapulted into the treacherous world of the Imperial court, where his desperate lie comes to light...

"This is probably my favorite book of all time, and I doubt I'll find anything to replace it anytime soon. I've read this book (and its sequal) twice now and am planning on reading it for a third time soon!<br/>Goodman did a beautiful job fleshing out the world she created and explaining everything in detail without dragging on about it. A problem I've found in a lot of fantasy is that the world either gets very little attention, or so much that you spend the first 100 pages just tudging through lore without any plotline in sight. Eon almost starts to creep into the latter category, but depending on your preferences you'll still find the beginning highly enjoyable.<br/><br/>With a lot of YA novels, you usually have to choose between a good and believeable plot or deep characters that make you care about each and every one of them, no matter how small. I personally found that this book offered both. No matter how frustrating it is when the characters make the wrong choice, it's still believable. I'd much rather read about characters that I can relate to making dumb choices (because I too make a lot of dumb choices) over characters that always have the perfect solutions to their problems right away.<br/>"
