书籍简介

本书是《遗产》三部曲的第二部。

垡藤杜尔战斗结束后，身负重伤的伊拉龙躺在地上不省人事，有个自称瘸子完人的长者通过意念和他取得联系，他回答了伊拉龙提出的所有问题，并敦促他到精灵族所在的埃勒斯梅拉城去找他。就在伊拉龙出发之前，活顿国又一次遭到巨人族的突然袭击，国王阿吉哈不幸遇难，伊拉龙拥戴阿吉哈年轻的人女儿娜绥妲继承王位，避免了一场有可能引发严重后果的权力之争。

到达埃勒斯梅拉城后，伊拉龙和蓝儿立即投入紧张的训练，他们必须将历时几十年才能学会的知识浓缩在几个月内加以掌握。因为时间紧迫，帝国魔王加巴多里克斯已民经集结一支宠大的军队，准备将反抗帝国的联盟斩尽杀绝。与此同时，在伊拉龙的家乡卡沃荷，他的表哥若伦卷入了一场新的战争。

伊拉龙决心挺身而出，迎战他最凶恶的敌人——加巴多里克斯，然而，混乱和背叛像噩梦一样缠绕着他，一切都变得那么扑朔迷离，他不知道他究竟该相信谁。加巴多里克斯的黑手是否会扼断所有叛逆者的咽喉？伊拉龙自己也可能性合难保。

本书延续了第一部《伊拉龙》的基调，且情节更复杂多变、故事更引人入胜。书中充满了丰富的想象及扑面而来的青春气息，读者在体验紧张刺激和悲伤痛苦的同时，也体会到了许多幽默与风趣。

本书2005年8月在美国上市，首印量达130万册，上市第一周即销售40多万册。目前，该书已超越了第一部的销量，成为蓝登书屋有史以来卖得最快的图书。

The second book in The Inheritance Series

Darkness falls . . . Despair abounds . . . Evil reigns . . .

Fresh from their battle for the rebel state against King Galbatorix, Eragon has no time to rest.

He and his dragon, Saphira, must travel to Ellesméra, the land of the elves for more training in magic and swordsmanship, the vital skills of a Dragon Rider.

Even though he’s heading off on the journey of a lifetime, chaos and betrayal plague him at every turn, and Eragon doesn’t know who to trust.

And while he’s off on his own journey, his cousin Roran must fight a new battle back home in Carvahall - one that puts Eragon in even graver danger.

Will the king's dark hand strangle all resistance? Eragon may not escape with even his life . . .
