Summary
As the Battle of Urû'baen draws to a close, Galbatorix utters two words that tear the fabric of Eragon's life asunder:
"Be not."
While the Eldunarí are able to protect his companions, Eragon knows that their power won't be enough. Unwilling to see his brother and his dragon, his liege, his partner-of-mind-and-heart, and his—shieldmate? beloved?—dearest friend perish in the blast, he casts a spell guaranteeing their lives: but at the cost of his own. The un-making of Galbatorix is the un-making of himself, too, and Eragon is ready to make that sacrifice if it means bringing about an age of peace.
Though, when he wakes up in a familiar forest clearing, faced with a familiar blue stone, and with suspicious and frightening gaps in his memory, he cannot help but wonder what forces are at play…and what those forces would ask him to sacrifice now.
An end-of-Inheritance divergence that puts Eragon in something of a time loop, forcing choices upon him that both redefine and reinforce his very being. What will Eragon do now, knowing that all of his actions lead, have led, and will lead to the inevitable end of all he holds dear?
