In the legendary kingdom of Alagaësia, war is brewing. The Riders, protectors of the peace of the Empire and the only ones capable of controlling intelligent dragons, have either become extinct or have joined the troops of the evil King Galbatorix. The elves have exiled themselves to a hidden place, and the Vardens, a dissident group, are hiding in protected cities. When Eragon, a 15-year-old boy living in a small village, finds a bright blue stone in the forest, he is convinced that it is a great discovery and that by selling it he will be able to buy food for his family before winter arrives. But when the stone turns into a dragon, whom he names Saphira, Eragon unleashes a legacy as old as the Empire itself. Overnight, his life changes and he is entrusted with a world of magic and powers. With only a sword and the advice of an old storyteller as a guide, Eragon and the dragon must travel through dangerous lands where they will face an emperor whose evil knows no bounds. The hope of the Empire rests on Eragon and Saphira.
