Brief History:
Eragon is a 15-year-old boy who lives with his Uncle Garrow and cousin Roran. His mother, Selena, disappeared and died after delivering Eragon to the care Garrow and his wife when he was first born. Throughout the first book, Eragon does not know the identity of his father.
Eragon finds a mysterious blue stone in the Spine, an untamed range of mountains near Carvahall, the small village he calls home. After being unable to sell the stone, Eragon soon finds it hatches into an infant dragon, a species thought to be extinct. When the Dragon touches his palm, a silvery mark, known as the Gedwëy Ignasia ("shining palm") appears there. He raises the dragon in secret, telling no one of what has happened, and manages to keep her hidden for the present. He names her Saphira, and their bond begins to develop.
But Saphira continues to grow, and it becomes apparent to Eragon that he will not be able to hide her much longer. As things turn out, however, he will not have to. When two hooded beings of immense power, the Ra'zac, enter Carvahall in search of the stone, Saphira forces Eragon to flee with her. The Ra'zac proceed to Eragon's farm in their search, and burn the place down, with Garrow, Eragon's uncle, still inside. Eragon, arriving at the farm too late to save Garrow's life, swears vengeance.
Eragon is sought out by Brom, a cryptic old storyteller who learned of Saphira's existence and now wishes to accompany them on their quest for revenge. Together, Eragon, Saphira, and Brom set out from Carvahall. During their travels, Brom teaches Eragon swordsmanship, and at first Eragon demonstrates his pathetic inexperience, though constant training soon corrects that. Eragon and Saphira also strive to learn more from Brom about the Dragon Riders.
They plan to stop in Yazuac to get supplies, but when they arrive, the village has been destroyed in an Urgal attack. They encounter two Urgals still there. In desperation, Eragon uses magic for the first time--an ability which he did not know he possessed. Eragon questions Brom about it, and Brom agrees to train Eragon in the use of magic, explaining it and teaching him spells.
After a while, they lose the Ra'zac's trail but find a mysterious substance known as Seithr Oil left behind. They decide to go to Teirm in order to trace where the oil has been shipped recently; this will hopefully lead them to the Ra'zac's lair.
In Teirm, Eragon visits Angela, a witch of some power, who predicts Eragons future. She reveals that he will have a long lifespan; the great powers of the land will struggle to control him; he will fall in love with one of noble birth; he will leave Alagaesia forever, and will face betrayal from within his own family. Eragon also meets Angela's werecat, Solembum, who speaks to him and tells him that when he is in need of a weapon, he should look under the Menoa Tree, and to speak his name at the Rock of Kuthian to open the Vault of Souls when his power is insignificant.
In Teirm he learns to scry--to view things he has already seen, through the use of magic. He also learns to read and write, skills which he'd not needed in Carvahall. In a visit with Saphira outside of Teirm, he breaks his wrist and therefore must learn to spar with his left hand.
After a while, Eragon and Brom decide that the Ra'zac are located in Helgrind, and depart Teirm. During the way to Helgrind, Eragon finally defeats Brom in sparring, using his left hand, and without using any trickery. Around this time, Eragon begins seeing a beautiful maiden in his dreams, and constantly sees her in other dreams afterwards. Eragon sees that she is imprisoned, and decides to check every prison they pass along the way in search of this maiden. After Eragon questions Brom, he learns that Brom is part of the Varden, a rebel association that opposes Galbatorix, the evil King of Alagaesia, who was once a Dragon Rider until he betrayed them and destroyed their order.
In Helgrind, the Ra'zac attempt to capture Eragon, but he escapes, along with Brom and Saphira. The next night, however, the Ra'zac ambush them and capture Eragon, Brom, and Saphira. Fortunately, they are rescued by mysterious man known as Murtagh, who was also tracking the Ra'zac. Murtagh frees them, but not before Brom is mortally wounded by a dagger meant for Eragon.
Brom dies shortly after that, but tells Eragon that he was once a Rider. Eragon and Saphira agree to travel with Murtagh, and travel in search of the hidden Varden. Eragon decides to travel to Gil'ead, where he could contact the Varden.
Ultimately, Eragon is captured and imprisoned in Gil'ead, where the maiden is also held. Eragon then learns that she is an elf. Murtagh and Saphira stage a daring rescue, and Eragon escapes with the elf. This does not occur without incident, however. Eragon and Murtagh easily overcome the Empire's soldiers, but are confronted by Durza the Shade, one of the most powerful beings in Alagaesia. Eragon himself duels Durza, and he realizes that he is hopelessly outmatched. Murtagh, however, shoots Durza between the eyes with an arrow, and this seems to kill him. The three companions and the unconscious elf flee Gil'ead.
Yet the elf does not stir, and, disconcerted, Eragon tries to speak with her mentally. After discerning that he is not an enemy, the elf, Arya, reveals to him the location of the Varden, and also the cause of her ailment. She had been poisoned, and it is such that if she does not receive the antidote soon, she will die. They must reach the Varden if they have any hope of saving her life.
The travellers are then pursued by the Empire and a small army of Kull that are heading in the same direction. In the ensuing chase, Eragon and Murtagh race on horseback to Farthen Dûr, the dwarven mountains that house the Varden. Before they enter, Murtagh, who has been reluctant to go to the Varden all along, reveals that he is the son of Morzan, first and last of the Foresworn, a group of treacherous Riders who Galbatorix and aided him in destroying the Dragon Riders.
Eragon reaches the Varden just in time to save Arya, and there he meets the leader of the Varden, Ajihad. He also meets Hrothgar, the King of the Dwarves. Since Ajihad plans to send Eragon to Ellesméra to finish his training, he is assesed in magic and swordmanship. Two suspicious characters known as The Twins act cruelly to Eragon and attempt to learn new words in the ancient language from him during the assesement. A fully healed Arya rebukes them and spars with Eragon herself. Eragon, although losing badly, passes the test in Arya's eyes. During this time, he begins to fall in love with her.
While with the Varden, he meets up again with Angela and Solembum.
A few days to a week after Eragon's arrival, war becomes imminent. Ajihad informs them of an impending threat: an intercepted message reveals that a legion of Urgals is marching toward the Varden.
In the battle that follows, a seemingly endless tide of Urgals seems poised to take the fortress. Within Tronjheim, the cone-shaped Dwarven city located at the center of Farthen Dûr, Eragon is confronted once again by the menacing Shade, Durza (it has been revealed that the only way to kill a Shade is with a blow through the heart). Eragon is greatly outmatched by the Shade, and it seems as if all hope is lost. Thanks to a sudden distraction from Saphira and Arya, however, Durza's attention is averted long enough for Eragon to kill him with a quick stab through his heart. Durza dies, but Eragon pays a terrible price for his deed: the Shade had inflicted a great wound on Eragon's back which would have a long-time debilitating effect on him in the future. Upon the Shade's demise, the evil lock Durza had on the Urgal's minds was released, causing the remainder of them to flee. Eragon faints from his weariness and affliction, and is plauged by visions of Durza's transformation into the menacing Shade he became. He is healed of these unwanted images by the mental presence of the Mourning Sage, who urges Eragon to follow Arya and seek him out. It becomes certain that, in order to triumph over Galbatorix once and for all, Eragon must seek future tutelage in the sequel, Eldest.
In Eldest, Eragon travels to Ellesméra, where he is instructed by a Rider, Oromis, and his golden dragon Glaedr. Oromis reveals that he once instructed Brom and Morzan. He learns many tecniques from Oromis, including extensive knowledge of the Ancient Language, history, and magical techniques that can save his life, including melding matter and energy and drawing energy from external sources. He learns of a war brewing between the Varden and the Empire and departs at once to aid the Varden in the battle. By order from Nasuada, he becomes leader of the Du Vrangr Gata (The Wandering Path) He changes the tide of the battle, until a new Rider appears, upon a red dragon. Presently exhausted, Eragon is easily outmatched, but upon recognizing the fighting style of the warrior, he forces off his helm. Murtagh stands before him. Murtagh reveals they are both sons of Morzan and Selena and therefore brothers. He takes Zar'roc from Eragon, claiming that it is his rightful inheritance. Plagued by depressing thoughts, Eragon imparts his newfound knowledge to his cousin Roran, Arya and Nasuada. Afterheses events with the help of a newly found rider eragon defeated Galbatorix. He held out to have Orrin succeed in his place but then Murtaugh did not like this to happen. Leaving the world on the edge of a swords tip.
