After years of peace, the forces of darkness are once again stirring in Alagaësia.

As new alliances form and old enemies return, Eragon’s connection to his dragon Saphira will be tested like never before. Together, they must face the shadows that threaten to consume the world.
Alongside his mentor Brom’s spirit, Eragon embarks on a quest to uncover ancient secrets that could defeat the growing darkness, but the cost may be higher than he ever imagined. It’s a battle that will define the future of the Dragon Riders and all of Alagaësia.
