Following the dramatic events of Eragon's first adventure, the young Dragon Rider faces new challenges as he continues his training with the elves in their ancient forest homeland. Whilst Eragon hones his magical abilities and swordsmanship, his cousin Roran must defend their village against the Empire's brutal forces, leading his people on a desperate journey to safety.

Paolini expands his richly imagined world of Alagaësia with deeper explorations of elvish culture, ancient magic, and the complex politics of war. The parallel narratives of Eragon and Roran create a compelling tale of duty, sacrifice, and the bonds of family, whilst the looming threat of the Empire and the mysterious motives of various allies keep the tension mounting throughout this epic continuation of the Inheritance saga.
