Darkness falls. . . . Swords clash. . . . Evil reigns.

Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have just saved the rebel state from destruction by the mighty forces of King Galbatorix, cruel ruler of the Empire. Now Eragon must travel to Ellesméra, land of the elves, for further training in magic and swordsmanship, the vital skills of the Dragon Rider. It is the journey of a lifetime, filled with awe-inspiring new places and people, each day a fresh adventure. But chaos and betrayal plague him at every turn, and Eragon isn’t sure whom he can trust.

Meanwhile, his cousin Roran must fight a new battle back home in Carvahall–one that puts Eragon in even graver danger.

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

Ratings and reviews

I have read the first two and just finished the second one at home and now I have to wait a few weeks before I can get the third so now I'm mad that I can't just go right to the third one... :( but I love the book!!!

I wish Chris would write more books like the Eragon series, I don't read much, but I couldn't those books down. It's the first time I really enjoyed reading.i just wish the director of the movie Lord of the rings made the Eragon movie. it would have been better. Thank you

I don't much care for this "electric book" format, but I can't find the book in any stores around me.
