The new generation of Riders have risen in Alagaësia, and the kingdom is flourishing under the rule of Queen Nasuada. Eragon has built the new fort with the help of the elves, and to the surprise and confusion of many, he has a daughter, for which the dragon Eridor hatched. In another part of Alagaësia, (Dras-Leona, to be specific,) a girl has an inexplicable fascination with an oak tree near the city, by the creek-with-no-name. Fate has an odd and cruel sense of humor, and paths often wander and get entangled with eachother in strange ways, so read on and see where these paths will lead, be it to death or adventure. Or both.
