Eragon

You are stronger than you realize. Wiser than you know. What was once your life is now your legend.

Eragon is a farm boy in his late-teen years who lives in a small village named Carvahall in the fictional and magical country of Alagaësia that contains dragons and other such fictional creatures. While hunting, he finds a dragon egg that is the size of a small cat. From the egg hatches a blue dragon named Saphira. Eragon decides to keep Saphira a secret, but a pair of magical creatures, The Razac, are sent by the King of Alagaesia, Galbatorix, to find Eragon and the dragon. He flees home, and returns to find out his uncle Garrow has been killed by the Razac and so sets out on a journey to avenge his Uncle.

Accompanied by a wise storyteller named Brom, Eragon and Saphira take up the legacy of legendary Dragon Riders. He learns magic, swordfighting, and dragon-riding to fulfil the legend of the dragon riders and his destiny, to help over throw the Empire and its tyrant king, Galbatorix.
