Book Posting 4

Another part of the book Brisingr is Roran’s story after the Battle of the Burning Plains. Roran is Eragon’s cousin who has grown up with him since before they could remember. In the beginning, Roran is with Eragon and is trying to locate his fiancé Katrina, who is being held captive at the Ra’Zac’s lair of Helgrind. He helps Earagon defeat the Ra’Zac and rescues Katrina. After they get back to the Varden, he is given a post as a second-in-command position so that he can prove that he can lead soldiers. He then sets off on a series of caravan raids which turn out less successful due to the fact that some of the soldiers are oblivious to pain due to magic. His commander is injured in action and Roran is assigned to another commander who is very brash and values honor above life. On their way to help reinforce the Surdan countryside, they come across some trouble however.
