The first legendary book of The Inheritance Cycle.
Master storyteller and internationally bestselling author Christopher Paolini returns to the World of Eragon with Murtagh. Murtagh, a stunning epic fantasy set a year after the events of the Inheritance Cycle, will publish in 2023.
The first book in The Inheritance Cycle.
When poor farm boy Eragon finds a polished stone in the forest, he thinks it's a lucky discovery. Perhaps, he will be able to buy his family food for the winter.
But, when a baby dragon hatches out of the stone, Eragon realises he's stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.
His simple life is shattered, and he's thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic and power. To navigate this dark terrain, and survive his cruel king's evil ways, he must take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders.
Will he succeed? The fate of the Empire rests in his hands. . .

Eragon finds a blue stone one day in the woods. Oh wait, it's a dragon egg! A truly immersive and incredibly written fantasy saga, suitable for middle grade readers and adults alike. Paolini published this at 19, so it is something to marvel at in every regard.
