Alternate Title: Karma's a Bitch, Eragon




Everything changed after the Rider War. The Varden installed Queen Nasuada as ruler of the Broddring Empire, alliances with Ellesméra and Tronjheim were reopened, and the allies of King Galbatorix were imprisoned, executed, or driven into exile. Nasuada's administration claims to have restored peace to Alagaësia, but chaos and upheaval still bubble beneath the surface, ready to slip free at the slightest easing of the Queen's iron grip.

Still, the presence of the Dragon Riders lingers over all would-be rebels. Eragon Shadeslayer has not been seen for four years, but all know that he is bound by an oath of fealty to serve Queen Nasuada should she call for his aid. Few would raise their swords against he who singlehandedly slaughtered thousands, or to his dragon, Saphira, who laid waste to Dras-Leona.

It is in this world that Vanora Orellasdaughter lives. The Rider War has destroyed her family and left her with little hope, and though she yearns for justice, the Varden regime seems all but indestructible. But when the dragon Verja chooses her as her bonded Rider, she finds these ambitions renewed...

Can Vanora and Verja overcome their pasts, confront their enemies, and forge a better future for Alagaësia as the cycle of rebellion turns once more?

I'm stoked to go back and read through all of this. In my period of on and off again activity, I'd forgotten about it, and now I'm excited I have something fun to read again.

Aww, thanks! It's probably a good time to reread, honestly, considering I'm planning on having Chapter 5 out soon.

I can't believe I missed seeing this. This is a pretty good continuation fanfic. You did a great job of wrapping up all the events and little details and putting it into your own story. It has much better pacing than the IC.

It will sound cruel of me, but Paolini wouldn't be able to write a story like this in a million years.

Other than that, I like how you're doing.
