About This Book

Following the colossal battle against the Empire's forces, Eragon and Saphira face new challenges as the conflict between the Varden and Galbatorix intensifies. Eragon is bound by promises, including an oath to his cousin Roran to rescue Katrina, and fulfilling those commitments forces him to confront increasingly dangerous circumstances.

As unrest spreads among the rebels and threats emerge across the Empire, Eragon's responsibilities grow. His journey takes him beyond familiar territory, where he must make choices that carry serious consequences and may demand extraordinary sacrifice.

Meanwhile, Galbatorix continues to seek ways to crush the rebellion and bend Eragon to his will.
