The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm

By Christopher Paolini
The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm
Synopsis
It's been a year since Eragon departed Alagaësia in search of the perfect home to train a new generation of Dragon Riders. Now he is struggling with an endless sea of tasks: constructing a vast dragonhold, wrangling with suppliers, guarding dragon eggs, and dealing with belligerent Urgals. This volume features three original stories set in Alagaësia: an excerpt from the memoir of Angela the herbalist, a cursed child, an exciting Urgal legend and a vision from the Eldunarí.
