Do you believe in monsters? Beasts? Werewolves and Vampires? No? Good because they don't want you to know of their existence. Mankind and the fantastic world of myths and legends are not meant to live in the same world. The Myst works hard to keep them apart. But what would happen if humans discovered the mystic? A group of friends find themselves caught in the middle of a rising war when they're thrown into this world.

Two hundred and fifty years after the fall of Galbatorix, Alagaesia is a very different place. Trading routes have been opened up all through the world with the country being the center of it all. Ilirea has become a thriving city and has grown immensely, with large businesses bustling, and tens of thousands of citizens living their daily lives. With the dragon riders thriving with the country nothing seems wrong. But with a large city comes a dark underground, and with rumours spreading the streets of a powerful new weapon not even the elves can compete with, the dragon riders find themselves losing what little control they have over the criminals hiding in the shadows. Ragin, professional thief and assassin, has been tasked with an impossible mission. One that has never been achieved before. Stealing a dragon egg. But there is a surprise at the end of this mission, one that no one could foresee. (Disclaimer, I do not own the inheritance series or the characters that appear in it.
