Eragon thought he was just an ordinary farm boy, until one day he discovers his destiny; to be a Dragon Rider. He and his faithful dragon, Saphira, must protect the land from the evil king, Galbatorix, with a combination of magic, loyalty and swordsmanship. Set in the fantasy land of Alagaesia, these four books follow the pair through a series of epic battles as they fight to rid the land of evil and restore peace.

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. Now he is struggling with an endless sea of tasks: constructing a vast dragonhold, guarding dragon eggs and dealing with Urgals and elves. Then a vision from the Eldunarí and an exciting legend offer a much-needed distraction and a new perspective. 
 
Three fantastic original stories, interspersed with scenes from Eragon's own unfolding adventure and an excerpt from the memoir of Angela the herbalist, penned by Angela Paolini.

The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm

Tales from Alagaësia Volume 1: Eragon

Soar high above the ground with Eragon on Saphira's majestic back. 
 
Experience narrow escapes from the gruesome Ra'zac. 
 
See the wonders of the dwarves' city-mountain, Tronjheim. 
 
Rich detail and painterly strokes make each piece by accomplished fantasy artist Sidharth Chaturvedi feel as if it's actually moving. 
 
Fifteen-year-old Eragon believes that he is merely a poor farm boy - until his destiny as a Dragon Rider is revealed. Gifted with only an ancient sword, a loyal dragon, and sage advice from an old storyteller, Eragon is soon swept into a dangerous tapestry of magic, glory, and power. Now his choices could save - or destroy - the Empire. In this extraordinary work of art, Paolini's fantasy masterpiece Eragon is brought to life in an entirely new way through Sidharth Chaturvedi's brilliant illustrations that accompany the complete original text. This is the ideal book to return to the World of Eragon - experience the thrill and exhilaration of becoming a Dragon Rider all over again!
