Not so very long ago, Eragon - Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider - was nothing Not so very long ago, Eragon - Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider - was not Relish the incomparable imagination of Christopher Paolini in this thrilling new collection of stories based in the Eragon is then forced to fight Murtagh.

They clash, and Eragon tricks Murtagh and sinks Brisingr into his belly. After being defeated, Murtagh realizes that his true name has changed. Murtagh then attacks Galbatorix, using the Name of Names to temporarily paralyze Galbatorix's magic and stripping Galbatorix of almost all of his wards.

As it is a spell with no words, and only a communication rather than an attack spell, Galbatorix is unable to defend himself and is crippled by it. Although he makes an attempt to invade Eragon's mind, Murtagh overpowers him and Arya fatally stabs Shruikan in the eye with Niernen.

Galbatorix is then stabbed in the stomach by Eragon. In retaliation, Galbatorix tries to kill everyone in the room by "unmaking" himself and becoming pure energy in a huge explosion.

The downfall of Galbatorix is mainly due to the assistance of Murtagh and Thorn, who are able to break free of their oaths to Galbatorix due to dramatic changes in their identities. Free for the first time since being bonded together, Murtagh and Thorn fly north to let their hate and rage cool down, and to rethink many things.

After Galbatorix's demise, Nasuada becomes the Queen of the Empire. Arya becomes Queen of the Elves after the death of her mother to Galbatorix's general Lord Barst during the battle. She also resumes her role as the courier for the newly rescued green dragon egg, which soon hatches for her.

With the threat of Galbatorix removed, Eragon and Saphira are able to remember the location of the hidden eggs, and they work together to find a suitable place to house the now numerous Eldunari from both Galbatorix's collection and the Vault of Souls and to accommodate a new order of Riders.

During this process, Eragon also solves the problem of binding all the races together, by reworking the magic of the land to include both the dwarves and the Urgals in the bond between riders and dragons, meaning that dragons can now hatch for an Urgal or a dwarf.

She declines because of her duty as the elves' new queen. The book ends with the envisioned scene mentioned in the previous books of two people getting on a boat Eragon and Arya and sailing away while two dragons are flying overhead and a man on the beach Roran yells at his loss. Do they have the capacity to change? Since the book has come out, one of the most gratifying and interesting things for me has been seeing the reactions of people who grew up with them.
