Inheritance

Inheritance by Christopher Paolini

I know that the true fans of this series devoured their own copy of Inheritance this weekend, but for those of you who are patiently waiting for our library copies I should have them ready to go sometime on Monday. In the meantime here is a teaser.

Not so very long ago, Eragon - Shadeslayer, Dragonrider - 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 thier shoulders.
Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heart breaking 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 chances.
The rider and his dragon have come further than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaesia? and if so at what cost?

The Saint of Dragons

The Saint of Dragons by Jason Hightman

I had one of my reviewers take this home over the summer, when she returned it to me, she commented that she had to fight with other members of her family as they all wanted to be first to read it. I think she won but I bet the others were sneaking a peak when she set it down. So if that's not enough of a reason for me to be taking it home before library classes start I don't know what is. So I took it home with me tonight and am already on page 60, and so far I love how it's started.

Here's the write up from the back cover.

You've been taught to believe they are dead. Figments of an ancient imagination. but one lonely schoolboy is about to have a rude awakening. Dragons are real. And they have... evolved.

Simon St. George has been living at the Lighthouse School since he was two years old, so it comes as a bit of a surprise when suddenly two men show up, both claiming to be his father. It's an even bigger shock to discover that he's actually descended from Saint George - dragon killer and all-round knight in shining armour - and that he's expected to carry on the family business.

In a moment, Simon is swept away from his lonely, predictable life, and thrown into the jaws of an adventure that threatens to swallow him whole. For dragons are alive, evil, and could be causing trouble in your neighbourhood this very day...
