oaths taken, allegiances put to the test, forces clash.
Eragon used the phrase "brisingr" (an old language meaning fire) for the first time just a few months ago. Since then, he has faced challenges that have tested his limits and taught him how to work magic with words. Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, barely survived the titanic fight on the Burning Plains against the troops of the Empire. However, Eragon finds himself enmeshed in a web of obligations he may not be able to fulfill, meaning that the Rider and his dragon still have more adventure ahead of them.
Eragon first swears an oath to his cousin Roran, promising to assist in freeing Roran's lover from King Galbatorix's grasp. However, Eragon also owes others his allegiance. His skills and power are much needed by the Varden, as well as the dwarves and elves. Eragon is faced with difficult decisions that might require him to make unthinkable sacrifices as he travels throughout the Empire and beyond, all while danger lurks around every turn and discontent claims the rebels.
The best chance to free the country from oppression is with Eragon. Can this previously unassuming farm kid rally the rebel army and overthrow the monarch?
