Inheritance
Eragon
-One boy...One dragon...A world of adventure.
When Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it
will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled
upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself. Over night his simple life is shattered, and he is thrust into a perilous
new world of destiny, magic and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon
and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king who's evil knows
no bounds.
Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands...
Eldest
-Darkness falls...despair abounds...evil reigns...
Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have just saved the rebel state from destruction by the mighty forces of King Galbatorix,
cruel ruler of the Empire. Now Eragon must travel to Ellesmera, land of the elves, for further training in the skills of the
Dragon Rider: magic and swordsmanship. Soon he is on the journey of a lifetime, his eyes open to awe-inspiring new places
and people, his days filled with fresh adventure. But chaos and betrayal plague him at every turn, and nothing is what it
seems. Before long, Eragon doesn’t know whom he can trust.
Meanwhile, his cousin Roran must fight a new battle -– one that might put Eragon in even graver danger. Will the
king’s dark hand strangle all resistance? Eragon may not escape with even his life....
