Bøger af Christopher Paolini

Verden er ikke længere sikker for Murtagh og hans drage Thorn. En ondskabsfuld konge er væltet, og Murtagh skal nu forholde sig til konsekvenserne af de handlinger, han og Thorn modvilligt var en del af under kongens terrorregime. De er forhadte og alene og forvist fra civilisationen. Men en ny ondskab ulmer i Alagaësia, og de må ud på en episk rejse gennem både kendt og ukendt territorie for at finde en mystisk heks. En heks, der rummer meget mere, end hun ser ud til …Arven”Murtagh” er femte bind i Arven-serien.Christopher Paolini (f. 1983) var kun 19 år, da han i 2002 udgav ”Eragon”, det første bind i Arven-serien, og bogen strøg øjeblikkeligt ind på New York Times’ bestsellerliste. De efterfølgende tre bind udkom i årene frem til 2011, hvor fjerde bind blev det foreløbige punktum i serien. Derefter fordybede Christopher sig i andre projekter, før han besluttede sig for at skrive ”Murtagh”, der dermed bliver femte bind i Arven-serien. Christopher Paolini bor i Paradise Valley i Montana, USA.

On the planet Talos VII, twenty-three years before the events of To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, an anomaly is detected: a vast circular pit, with dimensions so perfect that it could only have been the result of conscious design. So a small team is assembled to learn more - perhaps even who built the hole and why. Their mission will take them on a hazardous trek to the very edge of existence. For one explorer, this is the opportunity of a lifetime. For another, a risk not worth taking. And for xenobiologist Alex Crichton, it's a desperate attempt to find meaning in an uncaring universe. But every step they take towards that mysterious abyss is more punishing than the last. Ultimately, no one is prepared for what they will encounter.

In Aagaesia, a fifteen-year-old boy of unknown lineage called Eragon finds a mysterious stone that weaves his life into an intricate tapestry of destiny, magic, and power, peopled with dragons, elves, and monsters.
