Product Description

Book Description

A thrilling fantasy set in Ancient China and filled with shimmering dragons, dazzling swordplay and deadly secrets.

Product Description

Twelve-year old Eon has been studying the ancient art of the Dragoneyes for two years. Singled out by an ailing but power-hungry Dragonmaster, he is desperate for the chance to become a Dragoneye, the human link to one of the twelve energy dragons and its power. But he is playing a dangerous game: Eon is actually Eona, 16 years old and a girl. His true identity must remain hidden at all costs: it is forbidden for women to practise the Art, and to be discovered would be punishable by death.

Now the Rat Dragon seeks a new apprentice and only one boy will be chosen. The twelve candidates approach the mirrors and perform ancient combat sequences to prove their worth. Let down by his injured leg, it seems that Eon is destined to fail, until a spectacular twist in events catapults him into the opulent but treacherous world of the Imperial court. Without a master to guide him, Eon must learn to harness his unprecedented natural power, while protecting the secret that could cost him everything . . .

Set against a rich backdrop of Ancient Chinese myths and traditions and fraught with tension, this is a classic page-turner.

A Fabulous Read 10 Jan 2010
By Eve1972
Format:Hardcover
This has to be one of the best books I have read in a long time! The story is phenomenal, fast paced and full of twists and turns, a wild ride, and the characters rich and well written! One of the other things I loved about it was that the "fantasy" takes a back seat to the story, it is there, but the driving force of the novel is the human story wrapped in the fantasy, if that makes sense.LOL

I really think this is a book that the fantasy lover in your life would love, but would also appeal to those who may not be the biggest fantasy fans. I am giving this two very big thumbs up and I am going to try and wait patiently for the sequel!
