Fantasy. Fiction. HTML:With her bestselling fantasy trilogy, Dragon Prince, Melanie Rawn introduced us to Sunrunner’s magic and sorcerous evil, to a ruler striving to bring peace to warring kingdoms—and to her magnificent dragons.
In Stronghold, the first novel in Melanie’s Dragon Star trilogy, the peace won by High Prince Rohan is shattered when a mysterious invasion force begins a devastating campaign against the people of the Desert.
Now, in The Dragon Token, the time for retreat has come to an end as Rohan’s son and heir, Pol, rallies his forces in a desperate bid to halt the advance of the invaders. But ancient rivalries begin to weaken his alliance and only time will tell whether those loyal to the High Prince can defeat both the foreign invaders and the betrayers in their own ranks.
And even as Pol leads his troops forth, Andry, the Sunrunner Lord of Goddess Keep, is also determined to take the attack to this enemy force which has sworn to slay all workers of magic.
Yet the invaders have their own agenda of conquest, and they are even now readying to strike at the very heart of the Desert, stealing treasures which Pol and Andry would pay any price to reclaim—even if the price should prove to be their own lives….

What I appreciate most from Rawn is how flawlessly she’s able to weave various viewpoints together to create a cohesive story. This is a monster of a book and took me a very long time to get through because of how packed it is. The story back and forth from several different fronts of the ongoing war (including from the enemy’s perspective), and I was able to follow along almost effortlessly. I also felt connected to ALL of the characters, which is a feat in itself with so many perspectives. Rawn does a great job in taking her time and telling a comprehensive story.

I was very stressed throughout this whole novel–the stakes are HIGH and I can’t imagine how heart-pounding the next one is going to be, but I’m excited for some resolution. It’s also fun to see growth from these characters I’ve spent four (very large) books with getting to know and love. Some advancements are heart-wrenching and some are great, but I was an emotional mess for most of this reading experience.

Can’t say much more without giving spoilers–I’m excited to read the sequel and see where this story ends!
