New magic and new threats take flight in Book Two of the Inheritance Cycle, perfect for fans of Lord of the Rings! This New York Times bestselling series has sold over 40 million copies and is an international fantasy sensation. 

"Christopher Paolini is a true rarity." —The Washington Post

Darkness falls… despair abounds… evil reigns… Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have just saved the rebel state from destruction by the mighty forces of King Galbatorix. Now Eragon must travel to Ellésmera, land of the elves, for further training in the skills of the Dragon Rider: magic and swordsmanship. But chaos and betrayal plague him at every turn, and nothing is what it seems. Before long, Eragon doesn’t know whom he can trust.

Will the king’s dark hand strangle all resistance? Eragon may not escape with even his life. . . .

Christopher Paolini is an incredible writer! The first book was amazing, but this one far exceeded my expectations. Just started the third book and already love it. When I start reading, I have to make myself stop and get back to reality. If you're looking for an immersive series, the Inheritance Cycle is definitely worth your time and money! 10/10 would recommend!

Magic has never been done better. The limitations are perfect and it never gets old how the characters find ways around problems. I loved the relationship between dragon and rider.

Its just like the book lol just on your phone. The series just as amazing as the first time I've read it. Page numbers differ from the hard copy but still holds all the material. Occasionally there will be blank gaps between words for some reason but it's just a format error I think.
