![]() ![]() Last year she returned to epic fantasy for the first time in nearly 15 years with The Diviner, a prequel to The Golden Key: In a note in that book, Rawn spoke of battling clinical depression and the need to move on to other projects to help her recovery. She emerged from nearly a decade of silence in 2006, breaking away from epic fantasy with Spellbinder, a modern urban fantasy of the territorial disputes and sex lives of Manhattan witches. The Captal’s Tower, the final novel in the Exiles trilogy, has been listed as “forthcoming” since 1997. ![]() Her last publication of the 90s was a short story in A Magic-Lover’s Treasury of the Fantastic in 1998. Rawn practically had her own shelf on every bookstore in North America - nine fat fantasy novels, all still in print.Īnd then… nothing. ![]() From 1991-94, she published the Dragon Star trilogy in 1996 the collaborative novel The Golden Key (with Kate Elliott and Jennifer Roberson) and 19 saw the release of the first two novels of the Exiles trilogy. Rawn certainly didn’t rest with the Dragon Prince trilogy. If that’s not an auspicious debut, I don’t know what is. Twenty-four years later, it’s still in print - on something like its 50th printing - and so are both of its sequels. Melanie Rawn’s first novel, 1988’s Dragon Prince, was an immediate success. ![]()
