  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Melanie Rawn (born 1954) is an American science fiction and fantasy novelist. She is known for her numerous complex characters, witty dialogue and interesting world building. She's also rather well known as the author who has yet to finish the Exiles series. After an almost 10 year publishing dry spell, she returned to writing in 2006 with Spellbinder, an urban fantasy novel.

She keeps in contact with her fans using her forum.

Her novels include:[]

  • The Dragon Prince trilogy, consisting of Dragon Prince, The Star Scroll, and Sunrunner's Fire.
  • The Dragon Star trilogy (which picks up where the Dragon Prince books left off), consisting of Stronghold, The Dragon Token, and Skybowl.
  • The Golden Key, a 1996 fantasy novel written with Jennifer Roberson and Kate Elliot. A sequel written by Rawn alone, The Diviner, is due to be published in August 2011.
  • The Exiles trilogy, consisting of The Ruins of Ambrai, The Mage-Born Traitor, and the as-yet unwritten The Captal's Tower.
  • Spellbinder and it's sequel Fire Raiser, urban fantasy novels that differ greatly from her previous works. Originally intended to be a trilogy, the third book was cancelled due to lack of interest.
  • The first book, Touchstone, of a new trilogy called Glass Thorns is forthcoming in 2012.
