Inheritance Cycle
| In the fictional land of Alagaësia, there was once an organization of people who governed the country and brought peace to the world. This group was known as the Dragon Riders, for they rode Dragons, with which they had long since made a great bond. One Dragon Rider named Galbatorix had his dragon slain by the Urgals which drove him mad. Denied another Dragon by the Council of Elder Riders, Galbatorix blamed the Council for the death of his dragon and sought to destroy the Dragon Riders. He made and alliance with a young rider, and with his help slew an elder rider, after which he slew his ally. Then, with the help of Morzan, the first of the thirteen Forsworn, he stole a black dragon, named Shruikan (possibly a reference to Japanese "throwing stars" shuriken). He forced Shruikan to do his bidding, and later destroyed the Riders and their dragons. Since then, he has ruled Alagaësia as a tyrannical King. - Wikipedia |

| Yet another series recommended to me via Amazon. Due to the sheer magnitude of the Malazan Book of the Fallen, and the ever-expanding scope of the Dune Chronicles, I haven't started to read this series. | |

| Take a look around the right hand menu, which has links to each of the novels in the series (in publication sequence), and includes a brief synopsis of the novel. In some cases, I've also included a brief review. |
