Murtagh is a book by Christopher Paolini that is set one year after the Inheritance Cycle. Murtagh travels alone with only Thorn, his dragon, for companionship. He has forgone any kinship as after everything that has happened, he feels he deserves no one. Yet he still feels that it is his duty to figure out a vague threat to the world he calls home. Through their investigations, Murtagh and Thorn eventually find themselves in Nal Gorgoth with an enemy even the dragons of old had been terrified of.
