Niet zo heel lang geleden was Eragon - Schimmendoder, Drakenrijder - nog een arme boerenjongen en zijn draak Saphira slechts een blauwe steen in het bos. Nu rust het lot van een hele beschaving op hun schouders. Maandenlange training en strijd hebben overwinningen en hoop gebracht, maar gingen ook gepaard met smartelijk verlies. Toch moet de echte slag nog geleverd worden: ze zullen het tegen Galbatorix moeten opnemen. En ze moeten sterk genoeg zijn om hem ook te verslaan, want als zij het niet kunnen, kan niemand het. Er zal geen tweede kans komen. De Rijder en zijn draak hebben al meer bereikt dan iedereen had durven hopen, maar kunnen ze de boosaardige koning omverwerpen en het recht in Alagaësia doen zegevieren? En zo ja, tegen welke prijs?

Tussen Eragon en de jonge draak, Saphira, ontstaat een hechte band. Maar de vondst van de steen is niet onopgemerkt gebleven...
