Eragon
Christopher Paolini, 2001
A teenage hunter in a hard mountain valley finds a polished blue stone that pulls him into a world of Riders, magic and empire.
Christopher Paolini
Feels like identity, dread and war.
Start with Eragon.
Paolini began writing Eragon at fifteen and self-published it as a teenager; Knopf reissued it in 2003, making him a bestseller before he turned twenty.
Advice that sounds like freedom and costs almost everything to keep.
Let no one rule your mind or body. Take special care that your thoughts remain unfettered, one may be a free man and yet be bound tighter than a slave. Give men your ear, but not your heart. Show respect for those in power, but don’t follow them blindly. Judge with logic and reason, but comment not. Consider none your superior in life. Treat all fairly or they will seek revenge. Be careful with your money. Hold fast to your beliefs and others will listen. Of the affairs of love, my only advice is to be honest. That’s your most powerful tool to unlock a heart or gain forgiveness. Books by Christopher Paolini
