    Murtagh

    Het verhaal van een favoriet personage van de fans: Murtagh De wereld is niet langer veilig voor drakenrijder Murtagh en zijn draak Thorn. Nu de duistere koning is afgezet moeten ze de consequenties ondergaan van hun – weliswaar onvrijwillige – rol in zijn schrikbewind. Ze zijn gehaat en verstoten door de samenleving. Door het land fluisteren stemmen over de broze grond en hangt de vage geur van zwavel in de lucht. Murtagh vermoedt dat er iets kwaadaardigs in de schaduwen van Alagaësia schuilt. Dit is het begin van een epische reis door bekende, maar ook door nog onontdekte gebieden, waar Murtagh en Thorn elk wapen in hun arsenaal – zowel hun kracht als hun intelligentie – moeten inzetten om een mysterieuze heks te verslaan. Een heks die veel meer geheimen heeft dan iedereen dacht. In de pers ‘De Erfgoed-serie doet vaak aan In de ban van de ring denken.

    Het leven van de jonge boerenzoon Eragon verandert van de ene dag op de andere als hij op een jacht in de wouden van de onherbergzame Rug een raadselachtige blauwe steen vindt. Aanvankelijk is Eragon blij met de vondst, maar tot zijn grote teleurstelling wil geen van de handelaren die jaarlijks door de Vallei van Palencar trekken de steen van hem kopen. Dan geeft de steen zijn geheim prijs en is Eragon getuige van de geboorte van een drakenjong. Tussen Eragon en de draak, Saphira, ontstaat een hechte band. Maar de vondst van de steen is niet onopgemerkt gebleven. In Carvahall worden vreemde bezoekers gesignaleerd, onbekenden in zwarte mantels die voor niets terugdeinzen om Eragon te vinden. Dat blijkt als de boerenhoeve van Eragons pleegvader Garrow volkomen wordt vernield. Wanhopig vlucht Eragon in gezelschap van Saphira en de oude verhalenverteller Brom naar de wouden van de Rug. Zo begint de sage van Eragon, de Drakenruiter…
