El tenedor, la hechicera y el dragón / The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm

Translated by Jorge Rizzo
Un joven viajero maldecido. Hechizos y magia. Y por supuesto, dragones.

Bienvenidos de nuevo al mundo de Alagaësia

Ha pasado un año desde que Eragon partió de Alagaësia en busca del hogar perfecto para entrenar a una nueva generación de Jinetes de Dragón. Ahora debe de hacer frente a un mar de tareas que parecen no tener fin: construir un enorme refugio para dragones, lidiar con proveedores, custodiar huevos de dragón y enfrentarse con úrgalos beligerantes y elfos arrogantes. Pero ahora, una visión de los eldunarí, trae consigo visitas inesperadas; una extraordinaria leyenda úrgala, que aportará una distracción más que necesaria, así como una nueva perspectiva a la vida de Eragon.

Este volumen incluye tres maravillosas historias originales del mundo de Alagaësia, entremezcladas con escenas de las propias aventuras de Eragon. Incluye también un extracto de la inolvidable hechicera Angela la herbolaria, escrita por Angela Paolini, un personaje inspirado en ella misma.
Disfruta una vez más de la incomparable imaginación de Christopher Paolini en esta emocionante colección de historias en el mundo del ciclo El legado, que incluye nuevas piezas de arte realizadas por el propio autor.

La sensación internacional de la literatura fantástica está de vuelta, con nuevas historias desarrolladas en el mundo de Eragon y El legado, el ciclo que ha conquistado a más de 10 millones de lectores.
