Description
Eragon - Christopher Paolini - The Inheritance Cycle Book 1
Enter the world of Alagaësia in Eragon, the first book in Christopher Paolini's epic Inheritance Cycle and the beginning of an unforgettable adventure filled with dragons, magic, danger and destiny.
Eragon is a young farm boy living a simple life until he discovers a mysterious polished stone while hunting in the mountains.
But the stone is not what it seems.
When a dragon hatches from it, Eragon's life changes forever.
He names the dragon Saphira, and the extraordinary bond that forms between them reveals that Eragon has become part of an ancient legacy – the Dragon Riders, warriors who once protected the land before their order was destroyed.
Their existence soon attracts dangerous attention.
Forced to leave everything he has known behind, Eragon begins a journey through the vast world of Alagaësia, guided by the storyteller Brom and pursued by servants of the powerful King Galbatorix.
As Eragon learns swordsmanship, magic and the responsibilities of being a Dragon Rider, he begins to understand that his choices may affect far more than his own survival.
Rebels known as the Varden are fighting against Galbatorix's Empire, ancient races and forgotten histories shape the conflict around him, and Eragon must decide what kind of Rider – and what kind of person – he will become.
