Description

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

Relish the incomparable imagination of Christopher Paolini in this thrilling collection of stories based in the world of Eragon and the internationally bestselling Inheritance Cycle.

"Christopher Paolini is a true rarity." —The Washington Post


A wanderer and a cursed child. Spells and magic. And dragons, of course. Welcome back to the world of Alagaësia.

It's been a year since Eragon departed Alagaësia in search of the perfect home to train a new generation of Dragon Riders. When a vision from the Eldunarí, unexpected visitors, and an exciting Urgal legend surface, Eragon is faced with a much-needed distraction that may lead to a new perspective.

This volume features three original stories set in Alagaësia, interspersed with scenes from Eragon's own unfolding adventure. Included is an excerpt from the memoir of the unforgettable witch and fortune-teller Angela the herbalist . . . penned by Angela Paolini, the inspiration for the character, herself!

Also includes four new pieces of original art by the author!

    I love Eragon!! My friend suggested it to me and I’ve gone back and reread the series several times now! This book was so much fun to read bc I feel like we all were like “What happened afterward?!” Especially with Murtagh and I hope that we can get another one of these!! Thanks for this amazing series, Mr Paolini!!!! Atra gülai un ilian tauthr ono un atra ono waíse skölir frá rauthr!

    I was so sad when I finished the Eragon series, and then I saw this book and hoped it was like the 5th book in the series. It offers a little bit into the later life of Eragon, Murtagh Angela and the cursed one. I was hoping for another epic adventure but it wasn’t quite that. Less than 200 pages. Still worth the read

    All I hope is that you return once again to the world of Alagaësia! Maybe you’ll write that full size novel you mentioned 😁

    Maybe just a touch overpriced for the length, which is why I knocked a star off, but I loved it still. Hopefully a full length novel is coming!
