Basically, a young teenager who lives with his uncle on a farm, goes hunting for some meat (it's not really set in any set time, but it's like in the time where the king ruled over little villiages...) for tea, meat is expensive, he can't catch anything, theres a bright light and then a bue rock the size of a really big head appears, he thinks it looks valuable so he takes it in attempt to trade it for meat, the buthcher says no and he takes it home, on the way he hears brom - an old story teller - telling stories about the old days, where dragons and thier riders keep the peace, everyone believes its just old stories as does Eragon, until he returns home and the blue stone hatches into a dragon.
The hatching of a dragon egg means the evil king isnt th only one with a dragon and thus is a threat, so Eragon and his family are in grave danger, his cousin moves off to find work in another villiage but his uncle is killed, brom finds out that eragon is a rider and they run off together to find the varden - the rebel force (good guys) - .
What follows is an epic story of the trials and tribulations that he has to face. It's action packed, full of hhillarious moments, and will keep you up all night reading!
Loved it!
Ok so I've never written a summary, so was that to much, not enough, or just the wrong info?
I tend to give way more info than needed.
And if any of you say what is info, i will seriously go into another laughing fit!!
