Join Dragon Riders and dragons alike in an epic adventure through the World of Eragon--the perfect gift for fantasy fans! Eragon Fifteen-year-old Eragon believes that he is merely a poor farm boy--until his destiny as a Dragon Rider is revealed. Eragon is soon swept into a dangerous tapestry of magic, glory, and power. Now his choices could save--or destroy--the Empire. Eldest Eragon must travel to Ellésmera, land of the elves, for further training in the skills of the Dragon Rider: magic and swordsmanship. But chaos and betrayal plague him at every turn, and Eragon doesn't know whom he can trust. Brisingr Eragon finds himself bound by a tangle of promises he may not be able to keep. When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner, Eragon must make choices that could lead to unimagined sacrifice. Inheritance Eragon and Saphira have come further than anyone dared to hope. Can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost? Murtagh One of the most popular characters from the Inheritance Cycle, the Dragon Rider Murtagh and his dragon, Thorn, hear whispers of something wicked lurking in the shadows of Alagaësia. They are determined to find out more, no matter to what dark places the journey takes them.
