There's a place in the great lands of Alagaesia where a boy is raised with no memory of his parents. This boy is Eragon. Eragon is raised as a farm boy where he works for every bit of currency. As he works, he also hunts for his Uncle Garrow and his brother Roran. One day, he finds a blue stone in the wild forest called the Spine. He figures it could be a valuable item so he tries to trade it at the butcher shop. Only Sloan won't take anything from the Spine. So Eragon is about to be chased out of his shop when the town's smith arrives. Horst, Carvahall's smith, wouldn't allow Sloan to chase Eragon out of his shop when Eragon has a form of payment and is in need of food. So Horst buys a ton of meat for Eragon instead after Sloan still refuses to sell Eragon food. Eragon returns home to a disapproving Garrow, and gives him the meat. Later, Eragon travels with Garrow to meet the traders who have just arrived in Carvahall to try and sell the blue stone. Garrow loses interest in the stone when he learns it isn't worth much and doesn't bother trying to sell it. Eragon then takes the stone back and goes around looking at the items that the traders have brought with them. After, Eragon goes home with his Uncle Garrow and his cousin Roran. Then one day, Eragon's blue stone begins to get cracks in it, and after a while, it finally hatches. This was no stone, it was a dragon egg. A blue dragon emerges from this stone, and once Eragon gets over his wariness he feeds his dragon and tries to find a name for it. He does not yet know that his dragon is actually a female and not male. He goes to Brom to ask him for facts about dragons, and learns a bunch of dragon names. He tries them all with his dragon and when he finally realises it is a female, he finds the right name: Saphira. Then Horst tells Eragon of a pair of strangers called the Ra'zac who are looking for an egg like his. He takes Horst's advice and tries to go home, but is taken away by Saphira to the place where Saphira's egg first appeared in front of him. The following day, Eragon convinces Saphira to take him home, only to find his farm destroyed and Garrow dying. Garrow dies and Eragon leaves Carvahall with Brom so that he can hunt down the Ra'zac. They chase the Ra'zac all the way to Dras-Leona when they are chased out by soldiers who wish to capture Eragon and Saphira. The Ra'zac manage to catch Eragon, Brom, and Saphira unawares and then they escape with the help of Murtagh, a passing stranger with the same intentions as Eragon-to kill the Ra'zac. However, Brom is killed and then they travel to Gil'ead, where a man knows the whereabouts of the Varden, a front for the resistance of the dark king, Galbatorix. They go to Gil'ead and Eragon is once again captured, but this time by Urgals. He finds himself in Gil'ead with a Shade supervising over the soldiers. Eragon breaks out and Murtagh aids in his escape, but they encounter the Shade Durza unexpectedly. Then, there is a brief battle between Durza and Eragon with Murtagh, in which Murtagh kills the Shade. They then escape with Saphira and the elf they rescued from Gil'ead. They go to the Varden, where a great war is fought and Eragon is dealt a terrible wound, which cripples him. Regardless, he manages to kill the Shade with the help of Arya(the elf they rescued in Gil'ead). As Eragon takes the toll of his wound, a voice by the name of The Cripple Who Is Whole, comes and saves him from the pits of madness as Eragon is on the brink of death when he arrives. Eragon returns to normalcy and he makes a decision-that he would go to the elves to strengthen himself as much as he possibly can.
