Fifteen-year-old Eragon believes that he is merely a poor farm boy- until his destiny as a Dragon Rider is revealed. Gifted with only an ancient sword, a loyal dragon, and sage advice from an old storyteller, Eragon is soon swept into a dangerous tapestry of magic, glory, and power. Now his choices could save - or destroy- the Empire.

Afterthoughts
Eragon is and always will be one of my favorite books. Paolini, who wrote the book at 15, was my inspiration to write and I love every book in the Inheritance cycle.
The plot and setting of the story are very complex and accurate. Paolini creates a believable world with heroes that have limitations, but power, which, in my opinion, is the best kind of hero.There is plenty of action, adventure, romance, and magic, forming a fantastic experience that will prompt re-reads and nerdy discussions. Read it and you won't regret it.
Warnings
Some mild language and violence.
