Except “Eon” is actually Eona – a girl who, under the instruction of her conniving master, has hidden her gender. I actually did a little banana dance when I got this (enormous) ARC in the mail.įor the first time in 500 years, the Mirror Dragon has returned, selecting young, lame Eon as dragoneye. Why did I read this book: I loved Eon, and have been on tenterhooks waiting for the second half of this epic duology from Alison Goodman. How did I get this book: ARC from the Publisher Stand alone or series: Book 2 of the Dragoneye duology As they focus their power through her, she becomes a dangerous conduit for their plans.Įona, with its pulse-pounding drama and romance, its unforgettable fight scenes, and its surprises, is the conclusion to an epic only Alison Goodman could create. Through it all, Eona must come to terms with her new Dragoneye identity and power – and learn to bear the anguish of the ten dragons whose Dragoneyes were murdered. The renegades are on a quest for the black folio, stolen by the drug-riddled Dillon they must also find Kygo, the young Pearl Emperor, who needs Eona’s power and the black folio if he is to wrest back his throne from the selfstyled “Emperor” Sethon. Along with fellow rebels Ryko and Lady Dela, she is on the run from High Lord Sethon’s army. When freeing the dragons Ido tries to steal the dragons power, but is destroyed in the process ( one human can't handle all of the dragons power by them self) because Eona refuses to help Ido steal the power, despite Ido trying to convince her otherwise.Eon has been revealed as Eona, the first female Dragoneye in hundreds of years. However, if both Lord Ido and Eona were to take the dragons power at the moment of freeing them they would kill the dragons and they would be considered gods from the large amount of power that they would possess. Later it's used to free the dragons from their bonds to the Imperial Pearl- the dragons were forced to serve the ruling Emperor through a deal they made between themselves. While trying to save herself and Lord Ido she kills Dillon using the death chant and steals the black folio. In addition, Sethon has declared himself emperor and killed Prince Kygo's infant brother giving him only one threat.

Every time she tries to bond with her Mirror Dragon, she becomes a conduit for the ten spirit dragons whose Dragoneyes were murdered by Lord Ido. The only issue is that she cannot control her power. Luckily, people have accepted this, and she has become a Dragoneye. Eona: The Last Dragoneye is the second book of the Eon series by Alison Goodman.Įon has come out as 'Eona' and admitted she was a girl all along.
