About this audiobook

Master storyteller and internationally bestselling author Christopher Paolini returns to the World of Eragon in this stunning epic fantasy set a year after the events of the Inheritance Cycle. Join Dragon Rider—and fan favorite—Murtagh and his dragon as they confront a perilous new enemy!
 
“Christopher Paolini is a true rarity.” —The Washington Post
 
The world is no longer safe for the Dragon Rider Murtagh and his dragon, Thorn. An evil king has been toppled, and they are left to face the consequences of the reluctant role they played in his reign of terror. Now they are hated and alone, exiled to the outskirts of society. 
 
Throughout the land, hushed voices whisper of brittle ground and a faint scent of brimstone in the air—and Murtagh senses that something wicked lurks in the shadows of Alagaësia. So begins an epic journey into lands both familiar and untraveled, where Murtagh and Thorn must use every weapon in their arsenal, from brains to brawn, to find and outwit a mysterious witch. A witch who is much more than she seems. 
 
In this gripping novel starring one of the most popular characters from Christopher Paolini’s blockbuster Inheritance Cycle, a Dragon Rider must discover what he stands for in a world that has abandoned him. Murtagh is the perfect book to enter the World of Eragon for the first time . . . or to joyfully return. 
 
Praise for Christopher Paolini:
“A spellbinding fantasy writer.” —The Boston Globe
“A breathtaking and unheard-of success.” —USA Today
“Make[s] literary magic.” —People

I read the inheritance cycle when I was in the 6th grade and it played no small effect on how I grew up and I am so happy at how this book turned out as well as the ways it sparked emotion in myself my favorite scene is the very first one with Essie it reminds me of the part in Inheritance when Eragon healed Hope of her cat lip I believe it's supposed to show that in a certain way Murtagh and Eragon are far similar than Murtagh would want to Believe in short it's a great book and anyone who has read the other books should read this one as well

I just finished it it's incredibly good. Thorn's voice reminded me of yoda near the beginning, but it grew on me. I recommend this book for reading or listening to
