Back Cover Text:
It began with Eragon....  It ends with Inheritance.


Not so very long ago, Eiragon - Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider - was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest.  Now, the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders.

Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss.  And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix.  When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him.  And if they cannot, no one can.  There will be no second chance.

The Rider and his dragon have come farther than anyone dared to imagine.  But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaesia?  And if so, at what cost?

This is the spellbinding conclusion to Christopher Paolini's worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle.

CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI's abiding love of fantasy inspired him to write the Inheritance cycle, which quickly became an internationally bestselling series.  Look for the entire series on audio from Listening Library.  Learn more about Christopher and the Inheritance cycle at www.Alagaesia.com.

GERARD DOYLE's career in British repertory theater includes The Crucible, Playboy of the Western World, and The Tempest, among others.  He has toured internationally with the English Shakespeare Company and performed in London's West End in The Hired Man.  In New York, he has appeared on Broadway in The Weir.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
