Twelve-year-old Eon has been in training for years. His intensive study of Dragon Magic, based on East Asian astrology, involves two kinds of skills: sword-work and magical aptitude. He and his master hope that he will 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 boy for the chance to become a Dragoneye. 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.

I wanted to like this book. I really did. It sounds like a great story, one that I want to know. But I just wasn't in the mood for it. I think if I read this again, when I'm in the mood for it, it'll get a better rating. But for now, I can't really say that.
It's like one of my favorite books, Eragon. I'll love it a lot, but I have to be in the mood for it.
The sad thing is, I waited a month for this book at my library, and now, I just don't think I'm going to be able to read it right now.
:P
Oh well. They can't all be wonderful.
(the reason I used the cover I did, is because I read the hardcover copy)
