Enter a realm of ancient Chinese lore, redolent of such visions as seen in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Eon is training to become a Dragoneye, a powerful Lord who can command wind and water to nurture his land. But Eon has a desperate secret: He is, in fact, Eona, a young woman! If exposed, his masquerade will mean certain death, because girls are not allowed to practise martial arts. But even with his subterfuge, Eon is brilliant enough to catch the Emperor’s eye. Summoned to court, he’s thrust into a lethal struggle for the throne. Poison- laced politics and sexual intrigue make this tale truly timeless!

HOT Tip: The truth can be a deadly thing to say in a world of lies. Fantabulous figment of a fearlessly fertile mind!
