Eon

Eon. Dragoneye. Eona. The Mirror Dragon. The Rat Dragon. Those things mean more to Eon and his life than Eon may or may not know. And yet Eon has a heavily guarded secret. He is female. Eon's real name is Eona, a sixteen-year-old girl who has been acting in the position of a twelve-year-old boy. As a girl, she isn't allowed to use Dragon Magic, under the penalty of death. But 'When there is a will, there is a way'. And Eona's will is far stronger than most.

Eona is a cripple. Her hip is crippled, so it's not easy nor very efficient to move, and this draws signs, warding off evil, from people around her. But she has a dream of becoming a Dragoneye. A dream that if she was a girl, she would never be able to pursue. With the help of her Master, she evolves into the Dragoneye which she has yearned to be for so long. 

As a Dragoneye, there are many hardships, testing her will, her loyalty, and her strength, both mentally and physically. But even if Eona's physical body is scarred, and her hip is not in top condition, she has the determination of an Ox, the courage of a tiger, the insight of a Snake, the passion of a Horse, the Kindness of a Goat, the resourcefulness of a Monkey, the honesty of a Dog, the generosity of a Pig, and the ambition of a Rat. Of course, she still has to learn to have the peace of a Rabbit, and the confidence of a Rooster. But no one can be perfect, and Eona is pretty close. Yet this choosing day, she is set for the surprise and gift, if she takes it well, of a lifetime.

Eon is beautifully written, and once it sucks you into the world of it's dragons and magic, you won't be able to put this book down until you finish it. And then there is the equally delectable sequel: Eona. Really. I love this series. Thank you Alison Goodman for weaving a beautiful adventurous story of every quality you could imagine! It's a beautifully written piece of art. Delectable and astounding!
