Description

Don’t miss the eagerly anticipated epic new fantasy from Christopher Paolini—Murtagh!

A new adventure hatches in Book One of the Inheritance Cycle, perfect for fans of Lord of the Rings! This New York Times bestselling series has sold over 40 million copies and is an international fantasy sensation. 

"Christopher Paolini is a true rarity." —The Washington Post

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.

    Is it just me or are the dragons bald? It’s a good book. Don’t know why they look bald to me though.

    Read this to my kids for bedtime a little at a time. We read the Hobbit and the LOTR series so the kids were keyed up for fantasy adventures. It’s certainly not Tolkien but nobody really should be. Very accessible for young ones but deep enough to keep me interested as well. We’re looking forward to the next one

    I read Wings Of Fire in a restaurant in Seattle and the waitress recommended Eragon. I kind of forgot about it until we moved to two hours away and I saw it in my library on audiobook. The pronunciation is hard, and if you have trouble reading difficult words listen to the audiobook on Libby or CD

  • This book was so good

    Definitely recommend it for medieval time lovers, and dragon lovers. Also for those of you who haven’t seen the movie for this, please watch it, it’s just as good as the book (at least in my opinion) And for those of you who didn’t know there WAS a movie, there is. But only the first book was done.

    I originally read this series back in 2005 as a child. The world and its characters drew me in and never let me go. Slow burning in certain areas but a fantastic start to a wonderful saga. Recommend to anyone who enjoy a good fantasy defying book
