I LOVE THE SERIES !!!!!

If you've read the Warriors series, you'll know that warrior cats have to follow a specific set of rules, called the Warrior Code. It includes stuff like "the leader should have a deputy" and "clan cats shouldn't trespass on other clans' territory." But how were these special rules created? As it turns out, many of these rules had events that led to them being added to the code! But just how, exactly? Well, if you want to find out, you should read this book! This book is perfect for people who enjoyed the main series.

In the third book of the Inheritance series, Eragon and Roran are on a quest to find Roran's beloved, Katrina, who had been taken hostage by the Ra'zac.

Later on, Eragon and Saphira leave for the Farthen Dur to attend the election of the new dwarf king, where the Az Sweldn rak Anhuin clan attemped to assainate Eragon. Eragon's dwarf friend Orik ends up being elected as king, and at the coronation, Saphira repairs the Isidar Mithrim. After the coronation, they head to Ellesmera to complete their training with Oromis and Glaedr, where Eragon finds out that his father was not Morzan, but Brom, making Murtagh his half-brother. Eragon, after begging the elven blacksmith Rhunon, recieves his special Rider's sword, which he names 'Brisingr', that bursts into flames whenever he says 'fire' in the ancient language.
