About the book: 

Master storyteller and internationally bestselling author Christopher Paolini returns to the World of Eragon with Murtagh. Murtagh, a stunning epic fantasy set a year after the events of the Inheritance Cycle, will publish in 2023.

The first book in The Inheritance Cycle.


When poor farm boy Eragon finds a polished stone in the forest, he thinks it's a lucky discovery. Perhaps, he will be able to buy his family food for the winter.

But, when a baby dragon hatches out of the stone, Eragon realises he's stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.

His simple life is shattered, and he's thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic and power. To navigate this dark terrain, and survive his cruel king's evil ways, he must take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders.

Will he succeed? The fate of the Empire rests in his hands. . .

About the Author

Christopher Paolini was born in Southern California and lived most of his life in Paradise Valley, Montana. The tall, jagged Beartooth Mountains that rise on one side of Paradise Valley inspired the fantastic scenery in Eragon, the first novel in his  Inheritance Cycle.

Christopher's journey to becoming a globally beloved publishing phenomenon is as magical as the fantasy novels he writes. Christopher was homeschooled by his parents and often wrote short stories and poems, made frequent trips to the library, and read widely. He was fifteen when he wrote the first draft of Eragon, and his family self-published the book in 2001.

In August 2003,  Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers  published  Eragon,  and it was an instant success, reaching a worldwide audience. Christopher's second novel,  Eldest,  was published in 2005, followed by  Brisingr  in 2008.  Inheritance,  the fourth and final book in the cycle, released in November 2011. Additional titles in  The World of Eragon  include  Eragon's Guide to Alagaësia  and  The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm.

Today, the  Inheritance Cycle  is available in more than 50 countries, and together the four books in the series  (Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, Inheritance)  have sold more than 40 million copies worldwide.
