But Eon also has a dark secret. He is really Eona, found by a power-hungry master of the Dragon Magic in a search for the new Dragoneye. Because females are forbidden to practise the art, Eona endures years of study concealed as a boy. Eona becomes Eon, and a dangerous gamble is put into play. Eon's unprecedented display of skill at the Dragoneye ceremony places him in the centre of a power struggle between the Emperor and his High Lord brother. The Emperor immediately summons Eon to court to protect his son and heir. Quickly learning to navigate the treacherous court politics, Eon makes some unexpected alliances, and a deadly enemy in a Dragoneye turned traitor.' (Publisher's blurb.)
4 3 y separately published work icon Walk of Fame Sharon Krum , ( trans. Juanjo Estrella with title El paseo de la fama ) Barcelona : Umbriel , 2002 Z89306 2000 single work novel humour "Tom Webster is a dreary nobody; nice enough, but neither a head-turner nor a hell-raiser, until he's given the opportunity to become an uber-celebrity. The assignment: A major magazine gives Tom thirty days in which to make himself famous, using any, and they mean any, means necessary. The pay-off: fame, glory, and $100,000. When the assignment spins out of control, Tom takes a wild ride on the celebrity machine with a B-list film actress, who wants to be working on Shakespeare in the Park rather than her buxom physique, her slimy agent, his best friend (who happens to have stolen his wife), a boss desperate to capitalize on Tom's celebrity, and a fame-obsessed magazine editor who wants a finished article from Tom above all else. As his level of fame escalates, Tom becomes trapped in his own lies and the cult of celebrity - while everyone around him grabs their fifteen minutes. And then, just when everything seems perfect, Tom will make the decision of his life - turning the tables on the paparazzi, the hangers-on, and his scheming counterparts." (Book jacket)
