Books like Eon by Alison Goodman
Eon is a sixteen‑year‑old who has trained in sword‑work and magic for years, aspiring to be chosen as a Dragoneye. Knowing that only males may wield dragon magic, Eon has been living as a boy named Eon, hoping to attain a master apprenticeship with one of the twelve dragons of good fortune.
When her true identity as the girl Eona is at risk of being uncovered, she faces danger from those who would eliminate her for defying the Imperial taboo against female dragon magic. Together with allies, she must protect herself, preserve her hidden power, and navigate a turbulent struggle for the throne.
