After four years of study, Eon knows he’s not ready for the competition that will decide who will become apprentice to the “dragoneye.” Surprises unfold to the end, which sets the stage for the sequel. Nancy Wu provides an even narration that deals smoothly with the many gender variations in the characters, ranging from eunuch and transgender "contraire" to a girl masquerading as a boy and boys being dosed with aggression-enhancing herbs. Wu adroitly maneuvers the mood swings of the characters, enhancing the complexity of this tale, which is loosely modeled on a dynasty of Imperial China.
