Eon

Reach for this book when your teenager is struggling with the weight of performance or feels like they must wear a mask to be accepted by their peers or family. Eon tells the story of a young person living a double life: masquerading as a boy to study the ancient art of Dragon Magic while hiding both a female identity and a physical disability. It is a high stakes fantasy that explores the heavy emotional toll of secrets, the courage required to claim one's true power, and the complexity of navigating rigid social hierarchies. While the setting is an immersive, Asian inspired world of dragons and court intrigue, the core struggle is deeply human. It is ideal for ages 12 and up, offering a powerful mirror for those questioning their gender identity or anyone who has ever felt like an outsider looking in.
