Publisher's summary

Audie Award Nominee, Best Teens Category, 2013

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 further than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost?

This is the much-anticipated, astonishing conclusion to the worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle.

A great ending for an epic series

It's been 10 years since I finished reading Inheritance for the first time, but this book and series still live up to how I remembered them. By far one of the most impactful series I've ever read in my entire life and I recommend it to everyone who is interested in reading it.

The audiobook is narrated excellently by Gerard Doyle, he was a good choice to have for this production.

Great story - cringey dragon voice

Love the storyline and the narrator for the most part. The only thing that was hard to hear was the voiceovers for the dragons. I feel like they could have done a much better job in the production with the dragons.

The journey to a new Beginning

This book reminded me on our crazy world, with all the hate and jealousy. I was sad he had to leave friends and love behind

Excellent way to end what was foreshadowed since book one

To me it seems like this was the ending Christopher has had since he began writing the series. I really felt that the way it ended tied up all of the events perfectly. I hope that he continues this series, and I’m already planning on reading his newer book.
