Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Fork, the Witch and the Worm by Christopher Paolini.
A wanderer and a cursed child.
Spells and magic.
And dragons, of course.
Welcome back to the world of Alagaësia.
It's been a year since Eragon departed Alagaësia in search of the perfect home to train a new generation of Dragon Riders. Now he is struggling with an endless sea of tasks: constructing a vast dragonhold, wrangling with suppliers, guarding dragon eggs and dealing with belligerent Urgals and haughty elves. Then a vision from the Eldunarí, unexpected visitors and an exciting Urgal legend offer a much-needed distraction and a new perspective.
This volume features three original stories set in Alagaësia, interspersed with scenes from Eragon's own unfolding adventure. Included is an excerpt from the memoir of the unforgettable witch and fortune-teller Angela the herbalist, penned by Angela Paolini, the inspiration for the character, herself!
Relish the incomparable imagination of Christopher Paolini in this thrilling new collection of stories based in the world of the Inheritance Cycle.

      More than seven years after the publication of the final book in his Inheritance Cycle, Paolini returns with this collection of stories delivered by the narrator of the original series, Gerard Doyle. In the first story, a girl's life is forever changed by a mysterious stranger. The second story gives listeners Angela the Herbalist's backstory. The final story is about an Urgal's thirst for vengeance. The first two stories are short, causing the third one, which is the length of a novella, to feel excessively long. Much as it did in his narration of the earlier works, Doyle's soothing Irish brogue encourages listeners to sit back and revel in the story. Particularly charming is the throaty voice he employs for dragons. S.P. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
