In the continent of Alagaeisa, the land is in chaos. The Dwarves and Elves have disappeared into hiding, the nation of Surda has seceded from the Empire, and the evil king Galbatorix holds the realms of men in his iron-hard grip. One day, in the small village of Carvahall, fifteen-year-old Eragon is hunting along the dreaded mountain range, The Spine, when a large, blue stone materializes in front of him, startling both his prey and Eragon himself. Eragon takes the stone back to Carvahall and tries to offer it up for sale. When no one will buy it, he takes it home. Later that night, the stone starts to break and out emerges a small, blue dragon. Eragon atempts to keep the dragonet hidden from his Uncle Garrow and cousin Roran, but, when Roran leaves town to become a miller, and his barn is burned down by servants of the Empire, with Garrow inside, Eragon suspects that it was his, and the dragon's fault. He is taken under the wing of an old story-teller who tells him that it is his destiny to kill Galbatorix and bring peace back to Alagaesia. Thrust into a journey filled with war, magic, spite, and lust, Eragon's life will never be the same.
