What this book is about
The second Inheritance Cycle book follows Eragon as he trains with the Elves of Du Weldenvarden, learning the true depth of the Dragon Rider's art. Meanwhile his cousin Roran faces the Empire's wrath in Carvahall. Darker and more complex than Eragon, with larger stakes and more sophisticated world-building.
