About this deal

The world is no longer safe for the Dragon Rider Murtagh and his dragon, Thorn. An evil king has been toppled, and they are left to face the consequences of the reluctant role they played in his reign of terror. For those unfamiliar with the Inheritance Cycle, it is a four-book fantasy series that follows the adventures of a young farm boy named Eragon and his dragon Saphira, as they battle against an evil king and his army. The series is known for its intricate world-building, complex characters, and thrilling action sequences. Christopher has announced that he’ll be an ambassador for Books-a-Million’s summer reading program, which will include an in-store event in Texas. Additional details have yet to be revealed. Fifteen-year-old Eragon believes that he is merely a poor farm boy - until his destiny as a Dragon Rider is revealed. Gifted with only an ancient sword, a loyal dragon, and sage advice from an old storyteller, Eragon is soon swept into a dangerous tapestry of magic, glory, and power. Now his choices could save - or destroy - the Empire. In this extraordinary work of art, Paolini's fantasy masterpiece Eragon is brought to life in an entirely new way through Sidharth Chaturvedi's brilliant illustrations that accompany the complete original text. This is the ideal book to return to the World of Eragon - experience the thrill and exhilaration of becoming a Dragon Rider all over again!

Christopher Paolini was born in Southern California and lived most of his life in Paradise Valley, Montana. The tall, jagged Beartooth Mountains that rise on one side of Paradise Valley inspired the fantastic scenery in Eragon, the first novel in his Inheritance Cycle. Christopher's journey to becoming a globally beloved publishing phenomenon is as magical as the fantasy novels he writes. Christopher was homeschooled by his parents and often wrote short stories and poems, made frequent trips to the library, and read widely. He was fifteen when he wrote the first draft of Eragon and his family self-published the book in 2001. And the words - oh my, Paolini's words. Look at how they are put together. Look at the rich description. That's not plagiarized. That IS original. Look at how he puts together ideas and plots and describes emotions, characters, colors, scents, the change of seasons, the change of terrain - that is all original. The WAY in which he put together his words, is original to him. It's his personal writing voice. Everybody has a writing voice. Some voices ought to be quiet, frankly, because they are that bad. Some voices should be trumpeted. Celebrate the worldwide fantasy phenomenon Eragon, the first book in the Inheritance Cycle, which has sold more than 40 million copies across the series.

Will appeal to legions of readers who have been captivated by the Lord of the Rings trilogy. "School Library Journal Slightly redesigned covers using lettering by Jason Carne, matching the design of the Murtagh cover. ( Same with the spines.) Paolini is a master of his craft, creating such a beautiful world and intricate characters. I know a lot of people find Eragon annoying and immature....he's 15 and 16 in this book, it's expected for him to be so! It makes him realistic in circumstances that are so fantastical, which I really appreciate in a good character. But we also see him grow a lot in his maturity, not just in the series but just in this first book. I love how Paolini develops his characters, including Eragon.

The lore and history and magic and landscapes and just all of it is stunning and has had my mind in a chokehold for over a decade. I find something new every time I read Eragon which is a testament to the quality of the writing, in my opinion. Unusual, powerful . . . fresh and fluid. An impressive start to a writing career that s sure to flourish. "Booklist," Starred Today we`re sharing just a few of our faves! Did your OTP make the list?
