OATHS SWORN . . . loyalties tested . . . forces collide.
Following the colossal battle against the Empire''s warriors on the
Burning Plains, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly
escaped with their lives. Still there is more 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.
First is Eragon''s oath to his cousin Roran: to help rescue Roran''s
beloved, Katrina, from King Galbatorix''s clutches. But Eragon owes
his loyalty to others, too. The Varden are in desperate need of his
talents and strength--as are the elves and dwarves. When unrest
claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner, Eragon must
make choices-- choices that take him across the Empire and beyond,
choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice.
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?
關於作者:
Christopher Paolini''s abiding love of fantasy inspired him to
write the Inheritance cycle, which quickly became an
internationally bestselling series. Christopher draws inspiration
for the world of Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, from the natural
beauty that surrounds his home in Montana: the tumultuous weather,
the rushing Yellowstone River, and the soaring Beartooth
Mountains.
Christopher is currently writing the final book in the Inheritance
cycle, which will conclude the story he first imagined over a
decade ago.
