Book description
It began with Eragon . . . It ends with Inheritance.
Not so very long ago, Eragon - Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider - was
nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a
blue stone in the forest. Now, the fate of an entire civilization
rests on their shoulders.
Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope,
but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still the real
battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they
will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no
one can. There will be no second chances.
The Rider and his dragon have come farther than anyone dared to
hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to
Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost?
Featuring spectacular artwork by cult artist John Jude Palencar,
this stunning book brings the bestselling Inheritance cycle to a
breathtaking conclusion.
