The part of a book before the story starts is typically called the front matter. This includes items like the title page, copyright page, dedication, table of contents, and any acknowledgments or foreword written by the author or others.

I believe you mean an "Introduction", "Prologue", or "Preface". Sometimes they have a Note from the Author. Prologues (or prefaces if you may) are short essays at the beginning of the book and are most commonly found in books which are in series (such as the "magic tree house collection").

Songs that describe Roran from the book Eragon?

There is not a song for Roran in Eragon, because in Eragon, the first book, Roran isn't that important of a part. He doesn't fight or do anything important. He's barely even brought up, other than in the beginning. The story about the guy with the hammer is about a whole different person, but that story is the reason Roran starts fighting with a hammer in the 2nd book.
