Un joven... Un dragón... Un mundo de aventuras. En el reino legendario de Alagaësia la guerra se está gestando. Los Jinetes protectores de la paz del Imperio y los únicos capaces de controlar a los inteligentes dragones, se han extinguido o han pasado a formar parte de las tropas del malvado rey Galbatorix. Los elfos hace tiempo que se han exiliado a un lugar oculto y los vardenos, un grupo disidente, se ocultan en ciudades protegidas. Cuando Eragon, un joven de 15 años que vive en una pequeña aldea, se encuentra con una piedra preciosa en medio del bosque a donde ha ido a cazar, poco se espera que ese suceso vaya a cambiar su vida y el destino de Alagaësia. Lo único que desea es venderla para así asegurar la subsistencia de su familia durante el duro invierno. Sin embargo, una noche la gema se rompe y lo que sale de ella lo llevará a un viaje que lo convertirá en héroe. ¿Podrá Eragon tomar la responsabilidad de los legendarios jinetes de dragones?
