To Sleep in a Sea of Stars (Fractalverse, #1)

Christopher Paolini

Kira Navárez dreamed of life on new worlds. Now she's awakened a nightmare. During a routine survey mission on an uncolonized planet, Kira finds an alien relic. At first she's delighted, but elation turns to terror when the ancient dust around her begins to move. As war erupts among the stars, Kira is launched into a galaxy-spanning odyssey of discovery and transformation. First contact isn't at all what she imagined, and events push her to the very limits of what it means to be human. While Kira faces her own horrors, Earth and its colonies stand upon the brink of annihilation. Now, Kira might be humanity's greatest and final hope...

Brisingr (The Inheritance Cycle, #3)

Christopher Paolini

Oaths sworn... loyalties tested... forces collide. It's been only months since Eragon first uttered "brisingr", an ancient language term for fire. Since then, he's not only learned to create magic with words — he's been challenged to his very core. Following the colossal battle against the Empires warriors on the Burning Plains, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives. Still, there is more adventure at hand for the Rider and his dragon, as Eragon finds himself bound by a tangle of promises he may not be able to keep. First is Eragon's oath to his cousin, Roran: to help rescue Roran's beloved from King Galbatorix's clutches. But Eragon owes his loyalty to others, too. The Varden are in desperate need of his talents and strength — as are the elves and dwarves. When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner, Eragon must make choices — choices that will take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice. Eragon is the greatest hope to rid the land of tyranny. Can this once simple farm boy unite the rebel forces and defeat the king?

Fractal Noise (Fractalverse, #0)

Christopher Paolini

July 25th, 2234: The crew of the Adamura discovers the Anomaly. On the seemingly uninhabited planet Talos VII:a circular pit, 50 kilometers wide. Its curve not of nature, but design. Now, a small team must land and journey on foot across the surface to learn who built the hole and why. But they all carry the burdens of lives carved out on disparate colonies in the cruel cold of space. For some the mission is the dream of the lifetime, for others a risk not worth taking, and for one it is a desperate attempt to find meaning in an uncaring universe. Each step they take toward the mysterious abyss is more punishing than the last. And the ghosts of their past follow.

Inheritance (The Inheritance Cycle, #4)

Christopher Paolini

It began with Eragon... It ends with Inheritance. Not so very long ago, Eragon — Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider — was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders. Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chance. The Rider and his dragon have come further than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost? This is the spellbinding conclusion to Christopher Paolini's worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle.

Das Erbe der Macht (Eragon, #4)

Christopher Paolini

Die Gefährten sind versammelt … Der schwarze Tyrann ist bereit … Der Tag der Entscheidung ist da. Die Völker Alagaësias haben sich zusammengeschlossen und stehen bereit zum alles entscheidenden Kampf gegen Galbatorix, den grausamen Herrscher des Imperiums. Treue Freunde streiten an Eragons Seite, allen voran die wunderschöne Elfe Arya. Die bisher geschlagenen Schlachten haben den Gefährten zwar Siege beschert, aber auch schreckliche Verluste zugefügt. Und Eragon weiß, dass die größte Auseinandersetzung noch vor ihnen liegt – wenn er und Saphira Galbatorix gegenüberstehen. Unbezwingbar scheint der finstere Tyrann, denn er besitzt die Macht zahlloser Drachen, deren Seelenhort er an sich gerissen hat. Werden die Gefährten stark genug sein, gegen eine solche Kraft zu bestehen? Quälende Zweifel nagen an Eragon. Und helfen kann ihm nur eine alte Prophezeiung: Wenn alles verloren erscheint, so heißt es, liegt Rettung im Verlies der Seelen …

Die Weisheit des Feuers (Eragon, #3)

Christopher Paolini

Treue und Verrat … Freiheit und Tyrannei … Licht und Dunkelheit … Die Schlacht auf den Brennenden Steppen haben die Rebellen gewonnen – aber der Sieg hätte Eragon und seinen Drachen Saphira fast das Leben gekostet. Doch schon lauern im finsteren Helgrind neue Gefahren, wo Rorans geliebte Katrina gefangen gehalten wird. Allerdings fordert nicht nur Roran seine Unterstützung, auch die Rebellen brauchen Eragons Stärke und magische Fähigkeiten verzweifelt wie nie. Als unter den verbündeten Zwergen Clan-Kriege auszubrechen drohen und Galbatorix einmal mehr versucht, ihn zum Spielball seiner finsteren Interessen zu machen, muss der junge Drachenreiter handeln: Seine Mission führt ihn bis über die Grenzen des Königreichs, als ein schreckliches Opfer alles verändert … Eragon ist die letzte Hoffnung der freien Völker Alagaësias. Doch kann er allein die Elfen, Varden und Zwerge einen und den schwarzen Tyrannen stürzen?

Usred svega toga, vizija Eldunarija, neočekivani posetioci i uzbudljiva urgalska legenda pružaju mu preko potrebnu razonodu i svež pogled na stvari. Ova knjiga sadrži tri originalne priče smeštene u Alageziju, koje se prepliću sa Eragonovim avanturama. Tu je i odlomak iz memoara nezaboravne veštice i proročice, travarke Anđele... iz pera same Anđele Paolini, osobe koja je poslužila kao inspiracija za taj lik. Oduševiće vas neverovatna mašta Kristofera Paolinija, izražena u novoj knjizi priča smeštenih u svet ciklusa Nasleđe.

U moru zvezda sniti - Drugi tom

Christopher Paolini

Kira Navarez je sanjala o novim svetovima. Sada se obrela u noćnoj mori! Tokom rutinske istraživačke misije na nenastanjenoj planeti, ksenobiolog Kira Navarez pronalazi vanzemaljski artefakt. Isprva ushićena, Kira počinje da oseća užas kada drevna prašina oko nje počne da se kreće. Kad rat krene da besni među zvezdama, Kira se otiskuje na odiseju preko cele galaksije koja će joj pružiti nova saznanja i iz korena je izmeniti. Prvi kontakt nije ni približno onakav kakvim ga je zamišljala. I dok se Kira suočava sa sopstvenim strahovima, Zemlja i njene kolonije na pragu su uništenja. Kira je možda poslednja šansa koju čovečanstvo ima... Nakon devet godina od poslednjeg romana iz ciklusa Nasleđe, Kristofer Paolini donosi nam izvrsno zrelo ostvarenje u domenu naučne fantastike. „Inteligentno napisan, jak naučnofantastični roman, pun velikih ideja.” – Adrijan Čajkovski, pisac Dece vremena „Živopisan i inteligentno osmišljen svet. Topla preporuka za sve ljubitelje serijala Prostranstvo, Džejmsa S. A. Korija.” – Booklist „Roman koji će vas oduševiti vanzemaljskim divotama – i strahotama svemira.” – Newsweek

Un joven... Un dragón... Un mundo de aventuras. En el reino legendario de Alagaësia la guerra se está gestando. Los Jinetes protectores de la paz del Imperio y los únicos capaces de controlar a los inteligentes dragones, se han extinguido o han pasado a formar parte de las tropas del malvado rey Galbatorix. Los elfos hace tiempo que se han exiliado a un lugar oculto y los vardenos, un grupo disidente, se ocultan en ciudades protegidas. Cuando Eragon, un joven de 15 años que vive en una pequeña aldea, se encuentra con una piedra preciosa en medio del bosque a donde ha ido a cazar, poco se espera que ese suceso vaya a cambiar su vida y el destino de Alagaësia. Lo único que desea es venderla para así asegurar la subsistencia de su familia durante el duro invierno. Sin embargo, una noche la gema se rompe y lo que sale de ella lo llevará a un viaje que lo convertirá en héroe. ¿Podrá Eragon tomar la responsabilidad de los legendarios jinetes de dragones? La esperanza del Imperio descansa en sus manos... Eragon es el primer título de la trilogía de El Legado, que tiene como protagonistas a este valiente joven y a su indomable dragona Saphira.

Η κληρονομιά (Η κληρονομιά, #4)

Christopher Paolini

Ξεκίνησε με τον Έραγκον... ...τελειώνει με την Κληρονομιά. Δεν έχει περάσει πολύς καιρός από τότε που ο Έραγκον –ο σημερινός Ισκιομακελάρης, Δρακοκαβαλάρης– δεν ήταν τίποτα περισσότερο από ένα φτωχό χωριατόπαιδο και ο δράκος του, η Σαφίρα, μια γαλάζια πέτρα μέσα σ’ ένα δάσος. Σήμερα, σηκώνουν στους ώμους τους το πεπρωμένο ενός ολόκληρου πολιτισμού. Ατέλειωτοι μήνες εκπαίδευσης και μάχης έφεραν νίκες και ελπίδα, αλλά και θλιβερές απώλειες. Η μεγάλη μάχη δεν έχει γίνει όμως ακόμα: μένει να αντιμετωπίσουν τον Γκαλμπατόριξ. Ο Δρακοκαβαλάρης και ο δράκος του έχουν φτάσει πολύ πιο πέρα από ό,τι θα τολμούσε έστω και να φανταστεί κανείς. Μπορούν όμως να ανατρέψουν τον διεφθαρμένο βασιλιά και να ξαναφέρουν τη δικαιοσύνη στην Αλαγαισία; Και αν ναι, με ποιο κόστος; Κι έτσι, με τρόπο μαγικό, φτάνει στο τέλος του ο κύκλος Κληρονομιά του Κρίστοφερ Παολίνι, που έγινε μπεστ σέλερ σε όλο τον κόσμο.

Ο πρωτότοκος (Η κληρονομιά #2)

Christopher Paolini

Το σκοτάδι πέφτει... Τα ξίφη συγκρούονται... Το κακό βασιλεύει... Ο Έραγκον και ο δράκος του, η Σαφίρα, μόλις έσωσαν το έθνος των επαναστατών που κινδύνευε να ηττηθεί από τις φοβερές δυνάμεις του βασιλιά Γκαλμπατορίξ, αδίστακτου ηγεμόνα της Αυτοκρατορίας. Τώρα ο Έραγκον πρέπει να ταξιδέψει στην Ελλεσμίρα, χώρα των Ξωτικών, για να εκπαιδευτεί κι άλλο στη μαγεία και τη ξιφασκία, τις κύριες ικανότητες ενός Δρακοκαβαλάρη. Αυτό είναι το ταξίδι μιας ζωής, γεμάτο νέους τόπους και λαούς που προκαλούν δέος, κάθε μέρα και μια καινούρια περιπέτεια. Αλλά το χάος και η προδοσία παραμονεύουν σε κάθε στροφή, και ο Έραγκον δεν είναι σίγουρος ποιον θα πρέπει να εμπιστευτεί. Εν τω μεταξύ, ο εξάδελφός του Ρόραν πρέπει να κερδίσει μια νέα μάχη πίσω στην πατρίδα του, το Κάρβαχολ, μια μάχη που θέτει τον Έραγκον σε ακόμα μεγαλύτερο κίνδυνο. Θα μπορέσει το σκοτεινό χέρι του βασιλιά να καταπνίξει κάθε αντίσταση; Ο Έραγκον μπορεί να μην καταφέρει να σώσει ούτε καν τη ζωή του...

Μπρίσινγκρ (Η κληρονομιά #3)

Christopher Paolini

Όρκοι που δόθηκαν… Αφοσίωση που δοκιμάστηκε… Δυνάμεις που συγκρούονται Δεν πέρασαν παρά λίγοι μήνες από την πρώτη φορά που ο Έραγκον ψιθύρισε «μπρίσινγκρ», τη λέξη της αρχαίας γλώσσας που σημαίνει «φωτιά». Από τότε δεν έμαθε απλώς να κάνει μαγικά χρησιμοποιώντας λέξεις, δέχτηκε και προκλήσεις που τάραξαν τον πυρήνα της ύπαρξής του. Μετά τη φοβερή μάχη ενάντια στους πολεμιστές της Αυτοκρατορίας, στις Φλεγόμενες πεδιάδες, ο Έραγκον και ο δράκος του, η Σαφίρα, κατάφεραν να γλιτώσουν τη ζωή τους μόλις την τελευταία στιγμή. Κι όμως, κι άλλες περιπέτειες ανοίγονται για τον Δρακοκαβαλάρη και τον Δράκο του, καθώς ο Έραγκον βρίσκεται δεμένος με κάποιες υποσχέσεις που ίσως δεν καταφέρει να κρατήσει. Πρώτος είναι ο όρκος στον εξάδελφό του, τον Ρόραν: να τον βοηθήσει να σώσει την αγαπημένη του από τα δεσμά του βασιλιά Γκαλμπατόριξ. Όμως ο Έραγκον οφείλει πίστη και σε άλλους. Οι Βάρντεν έχουν απόλυτη ανάγκη τα ταλέντα και τη δύναμή του – το ίδιο τα Ξωτικά και οι Νάνοι. Όταν η ανησυχία αδράχνει τους επαναστάτες και ο κίνδυνος χτυπά από κάθε γωνιά, ο Έραγκον πρέπει να κάνει επιλογές – επιλογές που θα τον ωθήσουν να διασχίσει την Αυτοκρατορία και να φτάσει ακόμα παραπέρα, επιλογές που μπορεί να οδηγήσουν σε αφάνταστες θυσίες. Ο Έραγκον είναι η μεγαλύτερη ελπίδα για να απαλλαγεί η χώρα από την τυραννία. Μπορεί αυτό το κάποτε απλό χωριατόπαιδο να ενώσει τις δυνάμεις των επαναστατών και να νικήσει τον βασιλιά;

Έραγκον (Η κληρονομιά #1)

Christopher Paolini

Ένα αγόρι... Ένας δράκος... Ένας κόσμος περιπέτειας... Όταν ο Έραγκον, ένα φτωχό χωριατόπαιδο, βρίσκει μέσα στο δάσος μια γυαλιστερή γαλάζια πέτρα, νιώθει πολύ τυχερός για την ανακάλυψή του. Ίσως μ' αυτήν αγοράσει το κρέας που χρειάζεται η οικογένειά του για το χειμώνα. Όταν όμως ανακαλύπτει ότι η πέτρα κρύβει μέσα της ένα μικρούλη δράκο, ο Έραγκον δεν αργεί να συνειδητοποιήσει ότι του έχει δοθεί μια κληρονομιά σχεδόν τόσο παλιά όσο και η ίδια η Αυτοκρατορία. Μέσα σε μια νύχτα η απλή ζωή του γίνεται χίλια κομμάτια. Tότε αναγκάζεται να μπει σε έναν επικίνδυνο νέο κόσμο: τον κόσμο του πεπρωμένου, της μαγείας και της δύναμης. Με οδηγό ένα αρχαίο σπαθί και τις συμβουλές ενός γέρου παραμυθά, ο Έραγκον και ο φτερωτός δράκος του πρέπει να διασχίσουν την επικίνδυνη χώρα και να αντιμετωπίσουν τους σκοτεινούς εχθρούς μιας Αυτοκρατορίας που την κυβερνά ένας βασιλιάς διεφθαρμένος και δαιμονικός. Μπορεί ο Έραγκον να αντέξει το βάρος του θρύλου των Δρακοκαβαλάρηδων; Το πεπρωμένο της Αυτοκρατορίας ίσως βρίσκεται στα δικά του χέρια…
