The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm

Tales from Alagaësia Volume 1: Eragon




A stunning new collection of stories based in the world of the Inheritance Cycle, continuing the adventures of Eragon.

A wanderer and a cursed child. Spells and magic. And dragons, of course. Welcome back to the world of Alagaësia.

It's been a year since Eragon departed Alagaësia in search of the perfect home to train a new generation of Dragon Riders. Now he is struggling with an endless sea of tasks: constructing a vast dragonhold, guarding dragon eggs and dealing with Urgals and elves. Then a vision from the Eldunarí and an exciting legend offer a much-needed distraction and a new perspective.

Three fantastic original stories, interspersed with scenes from Eragon's own unfolding adventure and an excerpt from the memoir of Angela the herbalist, penned by Angela Paolini.
