Fifteen-year-old farm boy Eragon discovers a mysterious stone that hatches into a dragon, thrusting him into a war against an immortal tyrant and the legacy of an ancient order of Dragon Riders. Written by Paolini starting at age fifteen, this epic series is a testament to the staying power of classic high fantasy — full of magic systems, elvish lore, and sweeping battles across a richly imagined world.
