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.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Perfect Ending

Would you consider the audio edition of Inheritance to be better than the print version?

I could not wait for this book to be available. And it was not disappointing. Christopher Paolini writes beautifully and completes this story with a very moving ending that made tears flow. I will miss reading more but will go back and read all of these books again.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Hard to say just one.

What about Gerard Doyle’s performance did you like?

Doyle was amazing. He made all the characters come to life.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I cried with tears of joy.

Any additional comments?

Please bring us more.
