When fifteen-year-old Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.

Overnight his simple life is shattered, and, 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.

really want to read it!

Eragon was a normal farmer boy, hunting to keep his adoptive uncle and cousin from starving. When he finds a vivid blue stone, his only mindset is that it will earn him a few loaves of bread. But little does he know that the stone will change his life forever.

Every book written by this author is fabulous. One of my most favorite book series. For this to be this authors first written work, he is a natural. Yes he was also a High School student when he started writing this book. The best part is it is set in mid evil type setting, with of coarse a dragon and knights camps and castles. All kinds of creatures including elves. I love this book, and actual was able to get the authors signature on my books. I Love this Book!!!

Absolutely love this book its so well written it makes it feel your standing by eragon the entire time you can feel a lot of his emotions and there is so much awesome in this book dragons,swords,magic and lots and lots of other things and do you want to hear something really cool? it was all written by a high schooler!
