The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm cover

Enter the magical world of Alagaesia - and beyond . . . A stunning new collection of stories based in the world of the Inheritance Cycle, continuing the adventures of Eragon.

Relish the incomparable imagination of Christopher Paolini in this thrilling collection of stories based in the world of the Inheritance Cycle.

It's been a year since Eragon departed Alagaësia in search of the perfect home to train a new generation of Dragon Riders.

Now he is struggling with an endless sea of tasks: constructing a vast dragonhold, wrangling with suppliers, guarding dragon eggs and dealing with belligerent Urgals and haughty elves. Then a vision from the Eldunarí, unexpected visitors and an exciting Urgal legend offer a much-needed distraction and a new perspective.
