ERAGON When Eragon finds a polished stone in the forest, he thinks
it is a lucky discovery - perhaps it will buy his family meat for
the winter. But when the stone becomes 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, can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon
Riders? ELDEST 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 magic and
swordsmanship, the vital skills of the Dragon Rider. It is the
journey of a lifetime, filled with awe-inspiring new places and
people, each day a fresh adventure. But chaos and betrayal plague
him at every turn, and as his cousin Roran fights a new battle back
home in Carvahall, Eragon is put in even graver danger. . .
