About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Master storyteller and internationally bestselling author Christopher Paolini returns to the World of Eragon in this stunning epic fantasy set a year after the events of the Inheritance Cycle.

The world is no longer safe for the Dragon Rider Murtagh and his dragon, Thorn. An evil king has been toppled, and they are left to face the consequences of the reluctant role they played in his reign of terror.

Now they are hated and alone, exiled to the outskirts of society. Throughout the land, hushed voices whisper of brittle ground and a faint scent of brimstone in the air - and Murtagh senses that something wicked lurks in the shadows of Alagaësia. So begins an epic journey into lands both familiar and untravelled, where Murtagh and Thorn must use every weapon in their arsenal, from brains to brawn, to find and outwit a mysterious witch. A witch who is much more than she seems.

In this gripping novel starring one of the most popular characters from Christopher Paolini's blockbuster Inheritance Cycle, a Dragon Rider must discover what he stands for in a world that has abandoned him. Murtagh is the perfect book to enter the World of Eragon for the first time...or to joyfully return.

Exceeded all expectations. It feels to be on a smaller scale for the most part when compared to the first 4 books but wow does it help to flesh out the world of Alagasia. The first chapter had me a little skeptical as to where the story would go and if it would add or subtract from the original series but wow it definitely adds. The Lovecraftian elements were an unexpected addition and reminded me of The call of Cthulhu and were very well done and had me absolutely hooked. Loved it and can’t wait to see where the story goes next 10/10.

Excited for what’s next

this is the book I didn't know I needed in my life. Murtagh is one of my favourite characters and to have him and Thorn in a book with just them was just amazing. I was on the edge of my seat and cannot wait to return again. I will be waiting in anticipation

Back again

Amazing story, as they all are. Even though I have my original physical copies from reading as a teenager I really want to listen to them all on Audiobook now too

Love diving back into Alagaesia!

So exciting to get another book in the world of Alagaesia. Really enjoyed the ups and downs through the story and hints of more to come! Was such a lovely ending too

A wonderful journey back to Alagaësia!

Overall enjoyable but a fair amount weaker than the previous epic of Eragon. Murtagh weak and fairly unlikeable

Not bad
