Recommendation<\/b>: Only one chance to become Dragoneye apprentice\u2026 Soon Eon\u2019s years of training will be over as he competes against 11 candidates. Perhaps the Dragon\u2019s spirit eye will overlook his crippled leg? <\/p>\n

Eon feels the mighty Rat Dragon\u2019s spirit ripple through his blood, even after the swordmaster\u2019s ambush on the competition field. Ten dragon brothers and the whole empire watch as the ascendant Dragon selects Dillon as his apprentice. Eon now must run away before anyone discovers that this 12-year-old boy is really a young woman who risked execution for a chance to serve the Emperor as Dragoneye!<\/p>\n

Suddenly the long-dark twelfth dragon mirror brightens. For the first time in living memory, the Mirror Dragon has appeared to select an apprentice \u2013 and chooses Eon. In this imperial court of protocol and ceremony, no one knows what to do with an apprentice who has no master to train him or how to deal with two ascendant dragons in one year.<\/p>\n

Soon, the ascendant Dragoneye and his dragon must travel north to help control the weather \u2013 for the Dragoneye Lords serve during their Dragon year to keep the empire safe. But the angry Rat Dragoneye doesn\u2019t want to share power with Lord Eon, who might discover his plans to use dragon power to overthrow the Emperor!<\/p>\n

Will Eon\u2019s secret stay a secret in the rumor-filled Imperial Palace? How can Eon practice working with the Mirror Dragon without the correct instruction? Why do the dragons agree to help the Empire year after year? <\/p>\n

This thrilling adventure set in a land much like ancient China reveals the rippling scales of dragons in the storm clouds overhead \u2013 and the bitter venom hiding in human hearts. First in series, 531 heart-stopping pages. (One of 5,000 books recommended on www.abookandahug.com<\/a>) Review copy courtesy of the publisher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
