"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.
Overnight 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
whose 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....
