Eldest ~ book 11 ~ 15

Eldest is the sequel to Eragon, a mystical fantasy book based in an empire ruled by an evil king. It has elves, dwarves and dragons, with the ability of magic and telepathy.

It starts off after eragon had just beaten a large army of Urgals out of the home of dwarfes and the varden. His home villiage is also being attacked by the empires soldiers, and his cousin Roran takes control and saves the town.

Eragon meets many difficulties along the way, such as the elves of Ellesmera, his pains in his back but the worst is yet to come.

Roran must escape their town, Carvahall, once it becomes overthrown by Galbatorix's men. They reach magnificent feats, being the first to cross the spine, and stealing a ship from the empire, right under their noses.

At the end, the two cousins meet, in an unexpected way, but the surprise of it is yet to come. Eragon meets someone he thought would never see again, and Angela's profecy that one of his kin would betray him, and Eragon must learn secrets of his past that he would have to battle in the future.

Overall, this is an emotional book that you will hardly bear to put down. You will keep guessing the ending, but what really happens you will have to read to find out...
