About the book: 

t began with Eragon . . . It ends with Inheritance.

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. Now, the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders.

Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chances.

The Rider and his dragon have come farther than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost?

Featuring spectacular artwork by cult artist John Jude Palencar, this stunning book brings the bestselling Inheritance cycle to a breathtaking conclusion.

About the Author

Christopher Paolini was born in Southern California and lived most of his life in Paradise Valley, Montana. The tall, jagged Beartooth Mountains that rise on one side of Paradise Valley inspired the fantastic scenery in Eragon, the first novel in his  Inheritance Cycle.

Christopher's journey to becoming a globally beloved publishing phenomenon is as magical as the fantasy novels he writes. Christopher was homeschooled by his parents and often wrote short stories and poems, made frequent trips to the library, and read widely. He was fifteen when he wrote the first draft of Eragon, and his family self-published the book in 2001.

In August 2003,  Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers  published  Eragon,  and it was an instant success, reaching a worldwide audience. Christopher's second novel,  Eldest,  was published in 2005, followed by  Brisingr  in 2008.  Inheritance,  the fourth and final book in the cycle, released in November 2011. Additional titles in  The World of Eragon  include  Eragon's Guide to Alagaësia  and  The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm.

Today, the  Inheritance Cycle  is available in more than 50 countries, and together the four books in the series  (Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, Inheritance)  have sold more than 40 million copies worldwide.
