Eragon : The Inheritance series

An excellent piece of work done by Christopher Paolini; A story of farm boy who turns out to  the son of Brom, but Eragon believes that he is Morzan's son until late in Brisingr (Third Book), becomes a dragon rider and fights with all the courage. An excellent story which revolves around the dragons and their riders. While reading it you would seriously believe that it is part of Lord of the Rings.

 

Christopher Paolini

Many would know about Christopher Paolini, but very less knows that he started writing Eragon at the age of 15. He says

                    “When I invented Eragon, he was me. Writing about yourself is probably one of the easiest things for a fifteen-year-old author to do. However, I found that as the story progressed and Eragon did things that I've never done — such as fighting monsters and flying a dragon — he evolved into his own character, which I'm very happy about.”

The Series consists of 4 books, Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr and Inheritance. 

Eragon (Book I)

The first book in Inheritance cycle takes us to the world of Dragons and their Riders. It basically creates the ground for entire series leaving the reader into curiosity about the past of Dragon Riders. This book created an magnificent environment for every reader. The next phase starts when Eragon starts learning magic and getting trained to fight. He then rescues Arya but the cost which he paid was the death of his Trainer “Brom”, who turns out to be his father, which was reveled in third book. And after that Eragon reaches The Varden, with the help his half-brother, and fight against Durza and defeats him by the help of Arya.

Eldest (Book II)

The second book in Inheritance cycle reveals an eye opening and shocking secrets. After defeating Durza, Eragon moves to Ellesméra with Arya and Orik, to get trained as a rider by Oromis(Rider) and Glaedr(Dragon). Here he is influenced by Elves and starts learning all about Riders and what are they capable of. During this entire training he gets an magical gift by dragons, because of which his strength becomes comparable to elves. The training wasn’t complete but he has to march to the war where he is shocked by another dragon and his rider, which turns out to be his brother. The rider was Murtagh.
