Eon: Dragoneye Reborn
by Alison GoodmanCover Artist: Sammy Yuen, Jr. Review by Colleen Cahill Viking Juvenile Hardcover ISBN/ITEM#: 9780670062270 Date: 26 December 2008 List Price $19.99 Amazon US / Amazon UK / Show Article / What if I told you a story about a young person who seems the last candidate for an important post but overcomes the odds through determination and talent?

From official release/information: Product Description: Eon 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. 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 practice the Dragon Magic and, if discovered, Eon faces a terrible death. 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. As tension builds and Eon's desperate lie comes to light, readers won't be able to stop turning the pages … (Source: Viking Juvenile)
