VIRTUAL | After the event date, watch the talk any time through Library Speakers Consortium
Master storyteller and internationally bestselling author Christopher Paolini returns to the World of Eragon with Murtagh, a stunning continuation of the epic fantasy.
The world is no longer safe for the Dragon Rider Murtagh and his dragon, Thorn. An evil king has been toppled, and they are left to face the consequences of the reluctant role they played in his reign of terror. Now they are hated and alone, exiled to the outskirts of society where they must use every weapon in their arsenal, from brains to brawn, to find and outwit a mysterious witch who is much more than she seems.
In this gripping novel starring one of the most popular characters from Christopher Paolini’s blockbuster Inheritance Cycle, a Dragon Rider must discover what he stands for in a world that has abandoned him. Murtagh is the perfect book to enter the World of Eragon for the first time . . . or to joyfully return.
