Publisher's Summary

Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors, Eragon and Saphira narrowly escaped with their lives. But more awaits the Rider and his dragon, as Eragon finds himself bound by promises he may not be able to keep, including his oath to cousin Roran to help rescue his beloved Katrina. When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes, Eragon must make choices that take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice.

Conflict, action, adventure and one devastating death await listeners as Eragon battles on behalf of the Varden while Galbatorix ruthlessly attempts to crush and twist him to his own purposes. Can he become a leader who can unite the rebel forces and defeat the King?

Great listen

The performance of this series and brining all the characters to life has been amazing. I loved this book and can’t wait for the climax ending in the next book.

Chapter breaks are off

Great story and Gerard Doyle does really well with his reading but the chapter breaks for the audio book tracks occur mid sentence rather than using the actual chapters. It is very off putting and means you can’t actually set it to snooze at end of chapter. :(

The Best

This story, and the whole series is outstanding and draws you in so much. Highly recommend.
Wish there was more than 4 books, I never get sick of hearing about the world of Alagaesia.
