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.

awesome

This is the second time with this book. First time listening. It is a good book. Although at the end of the book, the music that was going on in the background while the last "page" was being read, made it even more sad because of the things said and done between Arya and Dragon. It almost made me cry.

Awesomeness

Christopher Paolini has once again amazed me and my family. You put so much depth into all of his books. It seems as though it took at least a lifetime to compile such a masterpiece.

True Epic with Possibility of More

I have loved the entire series- and the ending of Inheritance was so well done Strong emotions welled up in me. And I was grieving the end of the series...until hope was offered in the interview with the publisher ... it may take time but there is a possibility....

The best of the series

I started binge listening to the inheritance cycle for the past couple of months and I have to say that this is the best book out of the four. The strongest writing and the best story out for the series. I also enjoyed the ending greatly!
If you have been with Eragon since the beginning- you won’t want to miss this!
