Eon: Dragoneye Reborn by Alison Goodman

12-year-old Eon is living with a dangerous secret- he is actually sixteen-year-old Eona. Eona must masquerade as a boy in order to study Dragon Magic and be a candidate to become the Rat Dragoneye Apprentice as girls are not allowed to practice Dragon Magic. During the ceremony, the long absent Mirror Dragon returns and selects Eona. As the newest Dragoneye Lord, Eona finds herself caught in a power struggle that threatens to overthrow the Emperor.

With it’s quick pace and many surprising twists, Eon: Dragoneye Reborn is a treat from start to its cliff-ending finish. Goodman has crafted a detailed universe, engaging characters, and a multi-layered plot that will leave readers wanting more.
