Every new year, a different Dragoneye becomes the ascendant, and an apprentice is chosen by the Dragon.

He also is a Dragoneye candidate, the first lame candidate ever to attempt the ceremony of mirrors, and to try to become a Dragoneye apprentice. As tension builds and Eon’s desperate lie comes to light, readers won’t be able to stop turning the pages…Įon is a twelve year old boy with a twisted leg from a traumatic accident from his early childhood.

After a dazzling sword ceremony, Eon’s affinity with the twelve dragons catapults him into the treacherous world of the Imperial court where he makes a powerful enemy, Lord Ido. It is forbidden for females to practice the Dragon Magic and, if discovered, Eon faces a terrible death. 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. This marks one of Penguin’s biggest Young Adult books of 2009, and so when we were offered a review copy of this novel, I hastily accepted!Īction - a stunning magic system-swordplay galore!Įon has been studying the ancient art of Dragon Magic for four years, hoping he’ll be able to apprentice to one of the twelve energy dragons of good fortune. Why did I read this book: Eon: Dragoneye Reborn has garnered a lot of buzz both online and in bookstores. Stand alone or series: First book in a planned duology.
