Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors, Eragon
and Saphira narrowly escaped with their lives. But more awaits the
Rider and his dragon, as Eragon finds himself bound by promises he
may not be able to keep, including his oath to cousin Roran to help
rescue his beloved Katrina. When unrest claims the rebels and
danger strikes, Eragon must make choices that take him across the
Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice.
Conflict, action, adventure and one devastating death await readers
as Eragon battles on behalf of the Varden while Galbatorix
ruthlessly attempts to crush and twist him to his own purposes. Can
he become a leader who can unite the rebel forces and defeat the
King?
