Narration To Books Stronghold (Dragon Star #1)
With her widely acclaimed, bestselling fantasy trilogy, Dragon Prince, Melanie Rawn opened an enchanted gateway to a spellbinding universe of Sunrunner’s magic and sorcerous evil, of a ruler fighting to bring peace to a world of warring kingdoms, and of the dragons—deadly dangerous yet holding the secret to wealth beyond imagining.Now, in Stronghold, the first novel of Melanie’s new Dragon Star trilogy, there is a devastating new challenge to the power of both the High Prince Rohan and Andry, Lord of the Sunrunners at Goddess Keep, as a mysterious and seemingly unstoppable invasion force swarms across their lands. For Andry it signals the start of a nightmare made real, the horrifying fulfillment of his long ago visions of his homeland in flames, and he will draw upon even the forbidden sorcerer’s magic in an attempt to destroy this enemy which is bent on the extermination of all Sunrunners.
Rohan and his son Pol will also fight the enemy with every weapon at their command—from their valiant warriors, to conjurations with sun, moons, and stars, to the terrifying presence of the dragons, to the unforgiving wrath of the Desert itself. Yet soon they begin to fear that this invasion may prove not only the end of their dream of an unbreakable peace but the beginning of the end of their entire world….

Wow. What is it about Melanie Rawn, that she can take you on such an emotional rollercoaster? The last few pages had me in tears.the invasion of rohan's continent by the barbarians sees the end of all rohan and sioned believed in and worked so hard to bring about - peace! war reigns and its so brutal, the invaders want only to wipe all the people out but they are interested in the desert for some reason! hence the castles bordering the desert are left intact but what do they want from the desert? and will andry and pol not be able to put their differences and jealousies behind them in order to work together to save what
This book really is the culmination of all the previous three. The earlier books have all their own charms and worth, but Stronghold is where it all makes complete sense. The children succeeding their parents, the bonds and rivalries formed through the events of the previous books, all that explodes forth by the end of this book in a real triumph of epic fantasy writing.Yes, the book has its issues. Mel is obsessed with being skinny and being intelligent, anyone who isn't is demonised. Poor
Dragon Prince was too easy. Melanie cranks it up to 11 in this one as the Dark Ages come to the island of the Princes. Hope you're not too attached to any main characters or their sanity.
The world carefully crafted by the author in the first trilogy (The Dragon Prince) is unraveling. An overwhelming invading force of mysterious barbarians invades the lands. Internal strife between the next generation of leaders threatens any successful defense. And a heart-rending twist in the final pages leaves the reader stunned and bereft. Any reader will be left desperately craving for hope in the next book of this deep, compelling saga.
This book is the first in the Dragon Star Saga. Taking place after the Dragon Prince Trilogy again it starts out to be a very politically oriented story line but turns into a great saga. The story keep your attention and takes you into a world of High Princes, Sunrunner Magick and Evil Sorcery. It is a good read for any dragon and fantacy lover.
I read all the Sunrunner novels when I was a teenager. I remember tucking them into my backpack to escape lunch period...and math class...and chemistry...and biology. What can I say. High school & I didn't get along. >___>To be honest, I can't speak as to their quality aside from nostalgic value -- but when I was clearing out my collection of accumulated fantasy paperbacks, I put all six aside as keepers. This particular book is the first one I read. Exact details escape me, but there
