A Sword for a Dragon (1993) is a fantasy novel written by Christopher Rowley. The book is the second in the Dragons of the Argonath series that follows the adventures of a human boy, Relkin, and his dragon, Bazil Broketail as they fight in the Argonath Legion’s 109th Marneri Dragons.

As they continue their service to the Legion, Bazil acquires a new sword that is infused with the spirit of Ecator, an ancient black cat from the city of Tummuz Orgmeen. The 109th Marneri Dragons are dispatched down River Oon to the ancient land of Ourdh where an insurgency is being fueled by the Masters of Padmasa. Once in Ourdh the Legions are besieged in the city by a Mesomaster whom the Legions must overcome to survive and secure the safety of the Argonath.
