Summon the dragon, save the Empire

Aus dem Klappentext

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 believes 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. He is playing a dangerous game: Eon is actually Eona, a sixteen-year-old girl 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.
