NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In the epic sequel to Eon, a girl once disguised as a boy has become the Mirror Dragoneye—but can she learn to control her power before it's too late.
“Mesmerizingly beautiful and viciously treacherous.”—School Library Journal
“One of those rare and welcome fantasies that complicate black-and-white morality.”—Kirkus Reviews
Now she is Eona, the Mirror Dragoneye, her country’s savior—but she has an even more dangerous secret. She cannot control her power. Each time she tries, she opens herself to the ten spirit dragons whose Dragoneyes were murdered, and her ability twists into a killing force. Worse, more destruction is on her trail, for she and her friends are on the run from High Lord Sethon’s army. They must find Kygo, the young Pearl Emperor, who needs Eona’s power if he is to wrest back his throne. But to help, she must drive a dark bargain with an old enemy, which could obliterate them all.
Eona, with its pulse-pounding drama, unforgettable fight scenes—and many surprises—brings to a close an epic story.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this exciting if slightly overwrought sequel to Goodman's popular Eon, the author returns to the Empire of the Celestial Dragons to continue the story of Eona, the first master of the Mirror Dragon in centuries, who has been exposed as a girl. The new emperor, Kygo, has been deposed by his evil uncle, Lord Sethon, aided by the renegade Dragoneye Lord Ido, and all of the other Dragoneyes except the novice Eona have been murdered. Fearing Ido's power, Sethon has imprisoned him, and, ironically, Eona must rescue the traitor so that he can train her to defend Kygo. Distractingly, Eona loves the young emperor, but she also discovers that doing magic with Ido is sexually exciting: "I had to anchor myself long enough to pass the power. The straining muscles across his bare chest and shoulders held both menace and a sensuality that pulled me closer. I straddled his legs." Although this installment covers a lot of ground (perhaps too much), its flashy swordplay, spectacular magic, increasingly explicit sexuality, and elaborately constructed society should leave readers satisfied as Eona's adventures draw to a close. Ages 12 up.
