Eona

The sequel to the book Eon, about a girl warrior masquerading as a boy in ancient Asia, then chosen to be a Dragoneye, the highest rank below Emperor in the land, this book is about Eona's story after the truth that instead of being Lord Eon, she is Lady Eona. The High Lord Sethon, taking advantage of the uproar following her confession, has seized the Empire, slaughtered the Emperor and his wife and killed all of the rightful heirs... except the crown prince, who has managed to escape to the mountains bordering the land. Rumor is that the prince and rightful Emperor is slowly building a resistance force against the false king, and Eona wants to join it. Since the other ten Dragoneyes were killed the night of the takeover, she now has the power of eleven god-like dragons at her command. This makes her a great tool for the resistance... but also a great tool to destroy anyone who crosses Sethon. With the Empires soldiers hunting her and her friends night and day, the journey to mountains is proving difficult and dangerous. For what no one knows is that Eona can not control her new found power... and that she's far more likely to accidentally kill everyone in the Empire than bring down a corrupt Emperor.
