It is usually meant to indicate a substantial change in the narrative viewpoint and activity from that (previous) storyline based on the activities of the books' principal protagonist(s) and therefore is a shift to that action and overall narrative thread of some other protagonist(s), which now becomes the central or main thread (storyline) of the new sub-series.
The new protagonist generally appears first as a minor or supporting character in the main storyline within a given milieu, and it is very common for the previous protagonist to have a supporting or cameo role, at the least as a historical mention, in the new sub-story.
