Publisher's summary

The internationally best-selling fantasy sensation is back with brand-new stories set in the world of Eragon and the Inheritance Cycle!

A wanderer and a cursed child. Spells and magic. And dragons, of course. Welcome back to the world of Alagaësia.

It's been a year since Eragon departed Alagaësia in search of the perfect home to train a new generation of Dragon Riders. Now, he is struggling with an endless sea of tasks: constructing a vast dragonhold, wrangling with suppliers, guarding dragon eggs, and dealing with belligerent Urgals and haughty elves. Then a vision from the Eldunarí, unexpected visitors, and an exciting Urgal legend offer a much-needed distraction and a new perspective.

This volume features three original stories set in Alagaësia, interspersed with scenes from Eragon's own unfolding adventure. Included is an excerpt from the memoir of the unforgettable witch and fortune-teller Angela the herbalist...penned by Angela Paolini, the inspiration for the character herself!

Relish the incomparable imagination of Christopher Paolini in this thrilling new collection of stories based in the world of the Inheritance Cycle.

I've missed these books so much. It's like being home again. I'm so glad Christopher Paolini is writing in Alegasia again!

Amazing glimpse back into Alagaësia

Fantastic short stories starting 3 months after Inheritance. This is not book five, but it makes waiting for the next book even more exciting. I worried there would be a disconnect between these books and the old ones, not so. Angela is just as witty and confusing. Eragon has been humbled due to his past but clearly has more to learn. I'd reccomend this to anyone who has read the Inheritance cycle. However this book should not be read if you haven't finished the first four books.

an incredible book

I am a huge fan of the inheritance cycle by Christopher paolini and have been for ages I was first introduced to eragon in my second year of high school if I remember right and loved it from the start this though a little short for my taste was a great sequel to The inheritance cycle and I can't wait to read what Christopher publishes next.

Another great book by Christopher

I loved the Eragon books and this is no different. Just another great addition to the story. Waiting patiently for book 5 of the novels...
