About the book

Synopsis

Greetings, Dragon Rider.

It is a great honour to be chosen as a Rider. I have compiled these papers for you as an introduction to the most important peoples, places and things within Alagaësia. Study them most carefully, for some day your life may depend upon this information. Mine has, and more than once.

Eragon Shadeslayer

This is a full-colour extravaganza, an exploration deep into the world of Alagaësia, as told by Eragon himself, hero of ERAGON, ELDEST and BRISINGR. In fifteen lavishly illustrated spreads, the reader is invited to explore the landscape and cities of Alagaësia and its many races, including dragons, humans, Urgals, dwarves and elves. Each spread is filled with special effects and stunning examples of paper engineering and other elements.

What the critics say

'A compelling and action-filled adventure . . . a galloping good example of its genre'
- Daily Telegraph

'This book is an achievement. Readers . . . will be transported'
- Sunday Times

'A portrayal of true affection between boy and dragon - Paolini writes like someone gripped by his own story'
- Guardian

'A stirring fantasy of epic proportions'
- The Bookseller

It is a very exciting and thrilling book
- Teen Titles Issue 39

Shortlisted for Red House Children's Book Award.
- TES

I recommend the book Eragon and its sequel Eldest by Christopher Paolini, to any readers who like magic and dragons. The film of Eragon is out in cinemas now too, but i think if you read the book first you can have your own picture of the character without your imagination being taken away by the screen!
