In Eragon, destiny selects an ordinary teenager to become the first dragon rider in over a hundred years. Forging an unbreakable bond with his dragon, the boy must master ancient magic, embark on a journey of trial and adventure, defeat the mad king, and ultimately restore balance among his world. Eragon is the first book in The Inheritance Cycle series, which has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide.

Coincidentally, this isn’t the first time Eragon will see an on-screen adaptation. The book was previously adapted as a feature film in 2006 with Edward Speleers starring as Eragon. Unfortunately, because of low budget and time constraints, the movie isn’t considered very good. It will be interesting to see how Disney’s television series will stack up in comparison.
