Eragon

Eragon, a 15-year-old boy and the main character of the cycle, finds a polished blue stone which he takes back to his uncle's farm. Very little is known of his parentage, save that his mother was named Selena, and has not been seen since shortly after Eragon's birth. Eragon keeps the stone, hoping that it will perhaps sell for enough money to feed his family for the winter. He is stunned when the stone turns out to be an egg, hatching to reveal a baby dragon, Saphira, who grows in size and mental ability.

Eragon's home is attacked by creatures called Ra'zac. Garrow dies as a result of wounds while Eragon and a mysterious old storyteller named Brom escape with Saphira to find the Ra'zac and avenge Garrow's death. Eragon and Brom are ambushed by the Ra'zac. A young man named Murtagh, later revealed to be the son of Morzan, rescues them, becoming Eragon's ally. Brom is fatally wounded in the attack by the Ra'zac; in his final words, he reveals that he was a Dragon Rider before the Fall and that he is an agent for the Varden. Eragon is captured and taken to prison. Murtagh comes to his rescue, and, whilst pulling off an escape from Gil'ead, the duo also manage to rescue a female elf named Arya, who Eragon has been having disturbing nightmares about.

Because Arya has been poisoned, they search for the antidote. They travel across the vast Hadarac Desert constantly pursued by slavers and an army of Urgals. They discover the lair of the Varden inside the hollow mountain known as Farthen Dûr, where Eragon is tested - Arya informs Eragon that he has passed. The forces of Galbatorix attack and during the battle that follows, Eragon kills a Shade named Durza, suffering a terrible wound. Whilst he is immersed in a healing sleep, he converses with a being who advises him to complete his training in the elven capital.
