Inheritance

It began with Eragon .

Not so very long ago, Eragon - Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider - was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest.

The final stunning book in the Inheritance cycle featuring Eragon and his dragon Saphira - now available in paperback.

The epic conclusion to The Inheritance Cycle is here. Master storyteller and internationally bestselling author Christopher Paolini weaves a stunning finale in Inheritance, the fourth book of the beloved series. Readers are reintroduced to the World of Eragon, where destinies are forged in the fires of war, alliances are tested, and the strength of a young Dragon Rider is put to the ultimate test.

In Inheritance, the stakes have never been higher. Eragon - once a mere farm boy, now a mighty Dragon Rider known as Shadeslayer - alongside his majestic dragon, Saphira, face an uncertain future. It wasn't so long ago that Saphira was just an enigmatic blue stone in the forest, and Eragon was unaware of the unimaginable adventures ahead. Now, they carry the weight of an entire civilization's fate on their shoulders.

After enduring countless months of rigorous training and battling formidable foes, Eragon and Saphira have achieved hard-fought victories and ignited sparks of hope. However, these triumphs have come with a steep price – heart-wrenching losses that have tested their resolve. Yet, the true battle looms on the horizon: the formidable task of confronting King Galbatorix, a tyrant whose dark reign seems unshakable.

Victory is the only option, as failure is not an option. Eragon and Saphira must summon every ounce of their strength, courage, and cunning to face Galbatorix. Should they falter, Alagaësia will be plunged into darkness with no hope for redemption. There are no second chances in this ultimate showdown between good and evil.

In this grand finale, Paolini masterfully intertwines the threads of friendship, sacrifice, and destiny. The journey of Eragon and Saphira has carried them further than anyone dared to hope. But can they dismantle the malevolent regime and restore peace to Alagaësia? And what will it cost them?

Inheritance is not just a conclusion but a culmination of a magnificent journey, adorned with spectacular artwork by renowned artist John Jude Palencar. This breath-taking conclusion to the bestselling Inheritance Cycle will leave readers spellbound, closing the chapter on a saga that will be cherished for generations.
