About this ebook

Don’t miss the eagerly anticipated epic new fantasy from Christopher Paolini—Murtagh!

The Empire is at war and the stakes have never been higher in Book Three 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


Oaths sworn . . . loyalties tested . . . forces collide... Eragon is the greatest hope to rid the land of tyranny. Can this once simple farm boy unite the rebel forces and defeat the king? Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives. Still, there is more adventure at hand for the Rider and his dragon, as Eragon finds himself bound by a tangle of promises he may not be able to keep.

When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner, Eragon must make choices-choices that will take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice.

Incredibly lack luster compared to the other books. I waited in line for this the day it came out, and read it within two days. I was so disappointed with it that I refused to read the last book, until now. It all felt like filler, except for the reveal at the end.

The Inheritance Cycle is truly a wonder. Paolini has the rare ability to bend language to his will, subject it to his every whim and desire, and masterfully utilize it's nuances. So he does in his Inheritance Cycle. I love that he explains the nuances of the Varden's politics and what Eragon's and Saphira's oaths mean for them. It really illustrates the complexity of internal politics. And besides that, I love how Paolini never deigns to explain certain things, leaving the reader wondering forever, such as the nature of Angela and her many secrets and the questions she leaves you with. I would recommend this series to anyone who would listen.

I've been having issues with missing pages. Eldest was missing roughly 14 and so for brisingr is missing about 5. I've tried re downloading but it doesn't work.
