Why these tropes fit
In the aftermath of a colossal battle on the Burning Plains, Eragon and his dragon Saphira navigate a tangle of conflicting oaths: he must aid his cousin Roran in rescuing Katrina from King Galbatorix's clutches, support the rebel Varden, and answer the calls of elven and dwarven allies. As he travels across the Empire to unite rebel forces against the tyrannical king, his choices may demand unimagined sacrifice, testing whether the former farm boy can fulfill his role as the realm's greatest hope.
