Star Of The GuardiansA series of novels written by Margaret Weis, without assistance from usual co-author Tracy Hickman. This science-fiction series concerns the fate of the rightful king of the galaxy, Dion Starfire, born on the night the monarchy was overthrown. Dion is a member of the Blood Royal, genetically-engineered rulers; most of the others of his kind, including his uncle the king, and his father and mother, were killed the night of the Revolution. Only a few escaped, most notably: his adoptive mentor, Platus Morianna; Platus's sister, the Lady Maigrey; and the Warlord ("Citizen-General") Derek Sagan, who helped Peter Robes carry out the Revolution and establish the corrupt Galactic Democratic Republic. The original trilogy, The Lost King, King's Test and King's Sacrifice, concerns Dion's adventures and eventual rise to the throne. A few years later, Margaret Weis realized that, while Dion had achieved his goals, the main characters of the series (sundered lovers Sagan and Maigrey) had not achieved peace, and penned the fourth book, Ghost Legion. She has since completed a trilogy of spin-offs concerning the mercenary team Mag Force 7 introduced in King's Sacrifice. As the owner of a collectible card game development company, coincidentally also named 'Mag Force 7,' she was also able to bring the series to the gaming table, but it never caught on.
