Dragon magic, swordplay, and a hero hiding a terrible secret
Eon, who is twelve years old, has spent years training. His extensive study of East Asian astrology-based Dragon Magic encompasses two types of abilities: magical aptitude and sword-work. He and his teacher are hoping that he will be selected to be a Dragoneye, or an apprentice to one of the twelve lucky energy dragons.
However, Eon has a perilous secret. In reality, he is sixteen-year-old Eona, a girl who has been passing for a guy in order to have the opportunity to become a Dragoneye. Females are forbidden to use Dragon Magic; if anyone discovers she has been hiding in plain sight, her death is assured.
Eon and her supporters find themselves in a fierce fight for the Imperial throne and serious danger when Eon's secret is revealed. In order to fight those who want to steal her magic—and her life—Eon has to discover the inner strength and courage.
