Inheritance

Inheritance is the much-anticipated, astonishing conclusion to Christopher Paolini's worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle. This epic high fantasy novel follows Eragon, a once-poor farm boy, and his dragon Saphira, as they prepare for the ultimate confrontation with the evil King Galbatorix. The story is filled with intense training, significant battles, and heartbreaking losses, all leading to a high-stakes final stand where justice for Alagaesia hangs in the balance. Parents should note that while the provided data lists an age range of 4-11, this 704-page chapter book with complex themes, violence, and character death is much more suited for advanced late elementary to middle school readers, typically ages 10-14, who are already familiar with the series.

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 Alagaesia? And if so, at what cost? This is the much-anticipated, astonishing conclusion to the worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle. - Publisher.
