When fifteen-year-old Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky
discovery of a poor farm boy. 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, gifted with only an ancient sword, a loyal dragon,
and sage advice from an old storyteller, Eragon is soon swept into a dangerous tapestry of
magic, glory, and power. Now his choices could save—or destroy—the Empire.
