Synopsis

Relish the incomparable imagination of Christopher Paolini in this thrilling collection of stories based in the world of the Inheritance Cycle.

It's been a year since Eragon departed Alagaësia in search of the perfect home to train a new generation of Dragon Riders.

Now he is struggling with an endless sea of tasks: constructing a vast dragonhold, wrangling with suppliers, guarding dragon eggs and dealing with belligerent Urgals and haughty elves. Then a vision from the Eldunarí, unexpected visitors and an exciting Urgal legend offer a much-needed distraction and a new perspective.
_____

This volume features three original stories set in Alagaësia, interspersed with scenes from Eragon's own unfolding adventure.

Included is an excerpt from the memoir of the unforgettable witch and fortune-teller Angela the herbalist, penned by Angela Paolini, the inspiration for the character, herself!

Padded out very little content. Unsatisfying.
Basically a very short story the Urgals tell Eragon. They’ve tried to portray the book (padded our) as a full size novel. It’s not it’s really short! The w... READ MORE
