One boy . . . One dragon . . . A world of adventure.

When Eragon finds a polished 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...

Reviews

It's a story of mystery, excitement and magic...a riproaring story (also featured in Haverhill Echo). This is an action-packed fantasy adventure that will appeal to both adults and younger readers. Exciting tale. From the very first sentence we are plunged into a dangerous fantasy world. Teenagers will love Eragon...thrills, spills and danger...Who could resist? 'A compelling and action-filled adventure . . . a galloping good example of its genre' 'This book is an achievement. Readers . . . will be transported' 'A portrayal of true affection between boy and dragon - Paolini writes like someone gripped by his own story' 'A stirring fantasy of epic proportions' Eragon is a wonderful book if you like the work of authors such as JR Tolkien...a truly supernatural novel.
