Murtagh
A year after the fall of the wicked conqueror Galbatorix (and 12 years since the conclusion of Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle), Eragon’s half brother Murtagh, also a Dragon Rider, is on the run. An antihero in the original series, Murtagh was first one of Galbatorix’s men, but he changed sides with Eragon’s help. Now, he seeks to steer clear of danger, but danger finds him nonetheless, whether through the sword of a greedy trader or rumors of an evil witch. He rides his dragon companion, Thorn, across Alagaësia in search of answers as he also reckons with his past as a villain and wonders how to use his magic to help, rather than harm. Much of the story surrounds Murtagh’s relationship with Thorn, and previous Dragon Riders are name-checked but do not appear. Still, familiarity with the original series and characters is a must. Two decades after the debut of Eragon, Paolini shows that there are still fresh tales to be told in this world. —Stacy Comfort, Booklist
