Christopher Paolini Libri

La terribile battaglia delle Pianure Ardenti nelle ultime pagine di "Eldest" ha mostrato non solo le reali forze dell'esercito dell'Impero ma anche la debolezza dei Ribelli. Purtroppo Eragon e Saphira non possono tornare subito nella terra degli elfi a completare il loro addestramento: prima di tutto bisogna strappare Katrina dalle mani di Galbatorix... Christopher Paolini ci conduce di nuovo nella terra dove i draghi esistono, dove la magia è l'unica speranza di umani, elfi e nani contro tiranni e creature demoniache, costruendo un altro episodio della saga che ha conquistato legioni di lettori in tutto il mondo ed è diventata un film di successo.

Eragon e il suo drago Saphira hanno appena salvato la città dei ribelli dall'assalto dello sterminato esercito di re Galbatorix, il crudele reggente dell'Impero. Ora Eragon deve mettersi in viaggio per raggiungere Ellesméra, la terra degli elfi, dove proseguirà il suo apprendistato nell'arte della magia e della spada, abilità vitali per un Cavaliere dei Draghi. È un viaggio affascinante, ricco di avventura, costellato da incontri con personaggi che incutono rispetto e visite a palazzi solenni. Tranelli e tradimenti lo attendono a ogni angolo: capire di chi fidarsi sarà per Eragon la prova più difficile...

Un ragazzo. Un drago. Un mondo di avventure. Quando Eragon trova una liscia pietra blu nella foresta, è convinto che gli sia toccata una grande fortuna: potrà venderla e nutrire la sua famiglia per tutto l'inverno. Ma la pietra in realtà è un uovo. Quando si schiude rivelando il suo straordinario contenuto, un cucciolo di drago, Eragon scopre che gli è toccata in sorte un'eredità antica come l'Impero. Forte di una spada magica e dei consigli di un vecchio cantastorie, dovrà cavarsela in un universo denso di magia, mistero e insidie, imparare a distinguere l'amico dal nemico, dimostrare di essere il degno erede dei Cavalieri dei Draghi...
