At Goddess Keep, the Sunrunner Lord Andry has his own plan for an enemy that has sworn to kill every worker of magic. Second book of Melanie Rawn's Dragon Star trilogy, following Stronghold.
The Dragon Token is the second book in Melanie Rawn's Dragon Star series, which is a direct continuation of her earlier Dragon Prince series. While it is possible to follow the plot, a richer understanding of the characters and world is gained by reading the Dragon Prince trilogy first.
The Dragon Token concludes with significant plot developments that resolve some immediate conflicts, but it also sets up major events for the next installment in the Dragon Star series. Readers should expect a sense of ongoing narrative rather than a fully self-contained resolution.
The Dragon Token is part of the Dragon Star series, which is set in the same world as Melanie Rawn's earlier Dragon Prince trilogy. It continues the overarching narrative and explores the consequences of events from the previous series, featuring some returning characters and expanding on the established magic system and political landscape.
