When Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he soon realises he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself when the stone brings forth a dragon hatchling. 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 dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain 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.
