Stronghold: Melanie Rawn

Book I of Dragon Star. A generation of peace lies in shreds as a seemingly unstoppable invasion force lays siege to Prince Rohan's realm. For Andry, the Lord of All Sunrunners at Goddess Keep, it signals the start of a nightmare made real - the fulfillment of his visions of disaster to come. It will fall to the High Prince Rohan and his son Pol to fight the enemy with every weapon at their command - their valiant warriors, sun, moon, stars, dragons - even the Desert itself. But who can banish the fear that the invasion is not only the end of a dream of peace, but the beginning of the end of their entire world? Cover art by Michael Whelan.
