Eon - Thryft

Dragons, Magic, and Sword-fighting for Fantasy Lovers

Eon could be an absorbing read for YA fantasy fans as it delivers an imaginative world of high-stakes, magic, and mythical creatures. The book's unique feature is the gender identity of the protagonist and how she navigates through the challenges of being a female in a male-dominated society. The book received the Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Novel, which testifies to its excellence.

Description

She has a powerful secret... with deadly consequences.For years, Eon's life has been focused on magical study and sword-work, with one goal: that he be chosen as a Dragoneye, an apprentice to one of the twelve energy dragons of good fortune. But Eon has a dangerous secret. He is actually Eona, a sixteen-year-old girl who has been masquerading as a twelve-year-old boy. Females are forbidden to use Dragon Magic; if anyone discovers she has been hiding in plain sight, her death is assured.When Eon's secret threatens to come to light, she and her allies are plunged into grave danger and a deadly struggle for the Imperial throne. Eon must find the strength and inner power to battle those who want to take her magic... and her life.
