Eragon & Eldest
book
Book One and Two in the Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle - the complete text now in a single grand volume. Christopher Paolini's "Eragon", the first book in the Inheritance Cycle, begins when a poor farm boy discovers a blue stone in the forest. Instinct tells him to take it home - such an object will at least buy his family food for the winter. But instead the stone brings him a dragon hatchling, and he realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself, a legacy of magic, power and danger. Now Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, must take up the mantle of the lengendary Dragon Riders and fight to save their world from a king whose evil knows no bounds. Both "Eragon" and "Eldest" became instant international bestsellers, and this edition offers the first two books of the Inheritance Cycle in a single volume for the first time - a celebration of the first half of this beloved fantasy, for old fans and new. EXCLUSIVE TO THIS EDITION: Never-before-seen images of Christopher Paolini's handwritten manuscript.
