Summary
What would have happened if Murtagh had not grown up in Urû’baen and had met Nasuada early on? If Ajihad had survived and if Eragon had not rushed to confess his love to Arya? If Galbatorix had taken a more active role in the Inheritance Cycle plot than in the books? These and many other mysteries I will try to answer in this story.

Summary
Τι θα είχε συμβεί αν ο Μέρταγκ δεν είχε μεγαλώσει στην Ουρου'μπαίην κι αν είχε από νωρίς γνωρίσει τη Ναζουάντα; Αν ο Άτζιχαντ είχε επιζήσει κι αν ο Έραγκον δεν είχε βιαστεί να εκμυστηρευτεί τον έρωτά του στην Άρυα; Αν ο Γκαλμπατόριξ είχε πιο ενεργό ρόλο στην πλοκή της Κληρονομιάς απ' ότι στα βιβλία; Τόσα κι άλλα τόσα μυστήρια θα προσπαθήσω να απαντηθούν σ' αυτή την ιστορία.

Summary
Brom and Morzan become Dragon Riders under the guidance of Oromis and Glaedr. The rise of Galbatorix to the throne of Alagaësia. The young Arya as a human ambassador. Selena's acquaintance with Morzan and her role as the Black Hand. The birth of Murtagh and Nasuada. Ajihad is freed and seeks the Varden. Hefring steals Saphira's egg from the king. The love between Brom and Selena. The birth of Eragon. Angela and Solembum's prophecy. The story of Durza and the Ra’zac. Eragon meets his other half, Saphira.
I made an attempt to see our familiar heroes with fresh eyes. Lifting the curtain slightly—the one draped over them—I peeked behind it for a moment. And what I glimpsed truly left me breathless. What we knew about them was only the surface. Beneath lies a world of choices, regrets, and untold truths. Come, let’s live through these stories together for a while, reliving the heroes’ distant, glorious days. Let’s experience their moments of joy and sorrow, their anguish or wild passions. Let’s share in their thoughts, emotions, and hopes. Brom, Morzan, Oromis, Galbatorix, Selena, Ajihad, Eragon, Murtagh, Arya, and other heroes will come close to us for a time. -

"What if Shruikan hadn’t died during the Battle of Urû’Baen?
And what if he wasn't as beyond saving as everyone believes?
Nearly a year has passed since Galbatorix's defeat, and Dwyr’de—a young victim of the tyrant’s cruelties—is trying to heal the wounds left by years of captivity, while also attempting to soothe the fire raging within the soul of the black dragon.

Summary
Thirty some years have passed since Eragon Shadeslayer and Saphira Brightscales left Alagaesia with a cohort of elves, eldunari, dragon eggs, and his brother Murtagh with his dragon Thorn to rebuild the Riders from the ground up.
But when a suspiciously timed assasination attempt of both Queen Arya and Nasuada is foiled thanks to increasingly cryptic visions by Eragon and Murtagh . Their prescence is demanded back the snaking courts of Illiria and Ellesmera. Ugly age old plots rear their heads for the first time, zealous remnants of tyrants past plot the overthrow of the status quo. While the slow moving courts of the Elves picks up the speed of their schemes at a frightening pace. Two brothers for two courts. Slowly and inexorably, Eragon and Murtagh must uncover a plot older than the time of Galbatorixes reign as High King while navigating predatory lords, ancient foes, and a rapidly changing & dangerous political landscape.
