Book 4: Legacy

Oaths shattered…

Choices made…

A Legacy Revealed.

The Varden are teetering on the edge of defeat. They are outnumbered and their only rider, Eragon Shadeslayer, must defeat two riders singlehandedly if they are to achieve victory. The news of the Eldunari is a mixed blessing-although there is now a way to weaken the two riders severely, the knowledge that Galbatorix has hundreds of energy beacons at his disposal is not good. And of course, Galbatorix has also begun work on a new project, one that could prove fatal to the struggling Varden and the waning elves. However, even in the greatest darkness, there is light.

"I search for the answer!" exclaimed Tenga. "A key to an unopened door, the secret of the trees and plants. Fire, heat, lightning, light…" What do these words mean? Is it possible that Eragon can use this answer to finally defeat Galbatorix?

And also, where and what is the Rock of Kuthian? "When all seems lost, and you power insufficient, go to the Rock of Kuthian and speak your name to open the Vault of Souls."

It has been a hundred years since the sapphire egg was stolen from the depths of Ura'baen Palace, bringing hope to a dwindling nation, and beginning the war that has raged on for a hundred years. Little does anyone know that a similar act will soon take place, shaking the balance once again. But will it be enough to stop the tyrant king?
