Eon
Also known as The Two Pearls of Wisdom, Eon: Dragoneye Reborn and Eon: Rise of the Dragoneye.
In a world of lies, the truth can be deadly...
Under the harsh regime of an ambitious master, Eon is training to become a Dragoneye – a powerful Lord able to command wind and water to nurture and protect the land. But Eon also harbours a desperate secret – he is in fact a young woman living a dangerous masquerade that, if discovered, will mean certain death.
Brought to the attention of the Emperor himself and summoned to the opulent court, Eon is thrust into the heart of a lethal struggle for the Imperial throne. In this new, treacherous world of hidden identities and uneasy alliances, Eon comes face-to-face with a vicious enemy who covets the young Dragoneye's astounding power, and will stop at nothing to make it his own.
Inspired by ancient Chinese lore and sharing the wonders of films such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this thrilling, timeless novel of deadly politics, sexual intrigue and dazzling swordplay is set in a brilliantly envisioned world where both appearances and loyalties can prove so very deceptive...

Alison Goodman
In the quiet hours of a Melbourne morning, Alison Goodman might be found lost in a world not entirely her own—one where dragons whisper secrets, Regency-era heroines fight demons in ballgowns, and twin sisters solve crimes society wishes they’d ignore. That’s the spell Goodman casts: not just stories, but immersive, finely tuned tapestries where genre is a suggestion, not a limit.
Known for her gift of blending historical detail with the fantastical, Goodman has long walked the line between reality and imagination. Her breakout duology, Eon and Eona, took readers deep into a world inspired by ancient China, threading together gender identity, power struggles, and the high-stakes politics of dragon magic. It wasn’t just the vivid setting that caught fire—it was the voice of a girl forced to disguise herself as a boy to claim power in a world that refused her space. The novels became international favorites, celebrated not only for their rich fantasy world-building but also for their timely, thoughtful exploration of identity and agency.
