Not long ago, Eragon—once a humble farm boy—and his dragon, Saphira, who began as a mysterious blue stone, were unknown to the world. Now, the fate of an entire civilization rests in their hands.
Months of relentless training and brutal battles have earned them victories and stirred hope—but also brought painful losses. And still, the greatest challenge lies ahead: facing King Galbatorix himself.
When that moment comes, they must be strong enough to defeat him—because if they fail, no one else can. There will be no second chances.
Eragon and Saphira have come farther than anyone dared imagine. But can they overthrow the tyrant and bring peace to Alagaësia? And if they succeed… what price will they pay? (Book 4)
