One dragon, one boy...
A universe of exploration.
Eragon believes that a polished blue stone he discovers in the wilderness is the fortunate find of a poor farm lad, one that may provide his family with meat for the winter. Eragon quickly discovers, however, that he has come across a heritage almost as ancient as the Empire itself when the stone produces a dragon hatchling.
His ordinary existence is upended overnight, and he finds himself in a dangerous new realm of magic, power, and destiny. Eragon and the young dragon must make their way across the perilous landscape and menacing adversaries of an Empire governed by a monarch whose evil has no boundaries, using only an antique sword and the counsel of an elderly storyteller for direction.
Is Eragon able to carry on the Dragon Riders' legacy? He could hold the key to the Empire's destiny.
