Eon: Dragoneye Reborn
Two swords, angled for slicing, came whirring towards my chest. My block was simple: a step of the back leg, a shift of weight, my right sword joining the left in front of me, cutting side slanted down. His blades hit mine. The impact resonated through my arm bones.
Does young Eon have the power to become a Dragoneye? His ruthlessly ambitious
master believe he does. Now the years of gruelling training will be put
to the test: it’s time for the terrifying Rat-Dragon to choose his
next apprentice.
In a spectacular sequence of events, Eon is catapulted into the opulent but
treacherous world of the imperial court. But Eon is playing a dangerous game:
he is in fact Eona, a young woman whose true identity must remain hidden,
for discovery would mean instant death.
Inspired by the rich myths and traditions of Ancient China, shimmering with
energy dragons and fraught with tension, this is a fast-paced, exhilarating
page-turner. Also published as The Two Pearls of Wisdom (Australia
and U.K.).
