Listed Under Books Events

Internationally bestselling author Christopher Paolini returns to the World of Eragon! In this gripping novel set a year after the events of the Inheritance Cycle, a Dragon Rider must discover what he stands for in a world that has abandoned him.

The world is no longer safe for the Dragon Rider Murtagh and his dragon, Thorn. An evil king has been toppled, and they are left to face the consequences of the reluctant role they played in his reign of terror. Now they are hated and alone, exiled to the outskirts of society.

Murtagh is the perfect book to enter the World of Eragon for the first time . . . or to joyfully return.

Return to the World of Eragon this fall! We’re excited to be hosting an in-store signing with master storyteller and internationally bestselling author Christopher Paolini. Marking Paolini’s long-awaited follow-up to the Inheritance Cycle, a series which has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide, Murtagh is one of the most highly anticipated novels of the year – you don’t want to miss it!
