First in the shadow of the past, and second in the shadow of the ice crowned citadel, a blacksmith is asked to take a chance on a struggling fighter who has more in common with him than he realized.

100 yrs after the Fall of Galbatorix, Eragon's life goals have been accomplished, save one. The king is dead, he solidified the various new governments, and re-established the Riders. But one piece is missing, the most precious piece of the puzzle, Arya.

My take on book 4. Has been edited and slightly reformatted from its previous version, but nothing else has changed. Eragon struggles to break the king's grip on Alagaesia. Mostly from Eragon's POV. Some Eragon/Arya. Read and review!

High elf and blood elf. Alliance and Horde. Meditation and absorption. Two different races that share so many similarities. Introducing the chronicles of such a pair - the rifts that divide them and test their love...

The Empire has lost the Battle of the Burning Plains, but the Black King plots his revenge. All the free people of Alagaesia must fight for their freedom. The elves are abroad once more, the dwarves fight, the Varden are ready to invade. Who will prevail?
