About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.

Gerrard Shale's reading turns this magnificent adventure into a thrilling audiobook for fans of all ages.

When Eragon finds a polished stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. 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 he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds. Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands...

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely fantastic series! One of the very first I read when I started liking books and revisiting this fascinating fantasy world has took me back. I adore this whole series and it still stands to be my favourite out of everything I've read from the sheer creativity and wondrous ideas this series offers. I hope to see more come from this brilliant author in the future. Very much recommended!

great book and story, but the voice for safira is not suitable. should have gone for more of a woman's voice, rather than a beast.

Great book shame that he chooses to sound like yoda everytime he does the voice for the dragon. its quite of putting.
