"Eon"--the award-winning crossover fantasy that soars
Sixteen-year-old Eon has a dream, and a mission. For years, he's
been studying sword-work and magic, toward one end. 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
twelve-year-old boy. 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.
Ten years after Alex and Aaron Stowe brought peace to Quill and Artimé, their younger twin sisters journey beyond Artimé in the fifth novel in the New York Times bestselling sequel series to The Unwanteds, which Kirkus Reviews called “The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter.”

Led by the reckless new head mage, Frieda Stubbs, and swayed by her stoking their fear of the Revinir’s return, the people of Artimé have turned against the Stowe family. Aaron and his allies are captured while Fifer is left exposed to mortal danger.
Thisbe and the team of black-eyed children from Grimere journey to Artimé to help, leaving Dev behind to fend for himself against the increasingly powerful Revinir. Thisbe grapples with guilt and worry from multiple directions as her relationship with Fifer continues its downward spiral.
When things are at their bleakest and everything is on the line, Fifer is forced to make a decision that could change her destiny forever.
