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 Ellesméra, 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. . . .
