Darkness falls… despair abounds… evil reigns… Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have just saved the rebel state from destruction by the mighty forces of King Galbatorix. Now Eragon must travel to Ellésmera, land of the elves, for further training in the skills of the Dragon Rider: magic and swordsmanship.

Will the king’s dark hand strangle all resistance? Eragon may not escape with even his life. . . .

Ratings and reviews

This series is still appealing to me after so many years. The reader is pleasant to listen to. The series will take you on a journey of growth & adventure with just the right mix of battles in between. You really do feel attached to these characters & it's an easy read for the 1st book. The other books are lengthy. The only book I had a hard time getting through was the 2nd book but the audiobook helped me finish this series. I definitely recommend the Inheritance Cycle.

It was all right, right up until I heard the voice of Sephira, she is supposed to be a girl yet she sounds like a guttural man and it’s very disappointing and horrible, I’m not even sure I can continue the book because of that, it’s sad really, I love these books but the reader is ruining it.
