The internationally best-selling fantasy sensation is back with brand-new stories set in the world of Eragon and the Inheritance Cycle!

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, wrangling with suppliers, guarding dragon eggs, and dealing with belligerent Urgals and haughty elves. Then a vision from the Eldunarí, unexpected visitors, and an exciting Urgal legend offer a much-needed distraction and a new perspective.

This volume features three original stories set in Alagaësia, interspersed with scenes from Eragon's own unfolding adventure. Included is an excerpt from the memoir of the unforgettable witch and fortune-teller Angela the herbalist...penned by Angela Paolini, the inspiration for the character herself!

Relish the incomparable imagination of Christopher Paolini in this thrilling new collection of stories based in the world of the Inheritance Cycle.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

I've missed these books so much. It's like being home again. I'm so glad Christopher Paolini is writing in Alegasia again!

Fantastic short stories starting 3 months after Inheritance. This is not book five, but it makes waiting for the next book even more exciting. I worried there would be a disconnect between these books and the old ones, not so. Angela is just as witty and confusing. Eragon has been humbled due to his past but clearly has more to learn. I'd reccomend this to anyone who has read the Inheritance cycle. However this book should not be read if you haven't finished the first four books.

Amazing glimpse back into Alagaësia

I still would like to see another full-sized novel in the Inheritance series future.

I am a huge fan of the inheritance cycle by Christopher paolini and have been for ages I was first introduced to eragon in my second year of high school if I remember right and loved it from the start this though a little short for my taste was a great sequel to The inheritance cycle and I can't wait to read what Christopher publishes next.
