The first book was adapted into a film in 2006, but after the film got extremely negative critical reception and relatively underperformed at the box office, there are currently no plans for any movie sequels. On their quest, Eragon and Saphira meet up with a badass Anti-Hero with a Mysterious Past, rescue an elf princess, join the Varden, learn the truth about Eragon's past and his missing father, and face down foes far more powerful than themselves-eventually culminating in a final battle against Galbatorix himself. Our heroes set out for revenge, joined by the village's old storyteller, Brom, who, as it turns out, is a former Dragon Rider himself. They escape, but the Ra'zac burn down Eragon's home and kill his uncle. Unfortunately, the evil Galbatorix, the ruler of The Empire who betrayed and destroyed the Dragon Riders long ago, finds out, and sends his impenetrably cowled Ra'zac servants to capture Eragon and Saphira. He raises the dragon, Saphira, and becomes bonded with her as a Dragon Rider. The novels tell the tale of Eragon, a farmboy who discovers a dragon egg in the mountains and is amazed when it hatches for him.
