Brisingr (pronounced "BRIS-ing-gr") will be the third book of the Inheritance cycle by Christopher Paolini, following the books Eragon and Eldest.

Writing

The Inheritance cycle was originally planned as a trilogy. In an October 30, 2007 press release, Paolini revealed that the third book would have been so large that it would need to be published in two volumes.[3] Brisingr is scheduled to be released on September 20, 2008;[1] release outside the United States will follow.[4] Book four's release date is unknown.

Regarding the title, Paolini said, "'Brisingr' is one of the first words I thought of for this title, and it’s always felt right to me.” “As the first ancient-language word that Eragon learns, it has held particular significance for his legacy as a Dragon Rider. In this new book, it will be revealed to be even more meaningful than even Eragon could have known.”[1] "Brisingr" is the Ancient Language word for "fire", used to summon and control fire by magic-users in the series.

The cover, featuring the gold dragon Glaedr, was illustrated by John Jude Palencar. The content of the cover was one of the few things initially confirmed by Paolini. The cover was to feature an emerald-green dragon looking to the right.[5] However, Paolini later indicated that this was affected by the expansion of the series to a four-book cycle, but did not explain the change at the time.[6]

Content

Because the third book was split into two volumes, some of these details may appear in the fourth book instead of the third.

In the Eragon Newsletter of March 2006, Paolini writes near the end that the book is "coming along nicely" and that he has a battle to write.

In March 2003, Christopher Paolini was interviewed by shurtugal.com and he revealed the following information:[7][8]

  • At the end of Eldest, the Varden still favor Nasuada in terms of leadership, but Paolini has hinted that in the third book, this might change.
  • Paolini also mentioned that in the third book it will be revealed if Saphira ever finds a mate.
  • More information about Tornac (Murtagh's old friend and trainer) will be revealed.
  • Elva, along with "every other character," will have an important role to play.

Paolini answered some questions for his fans on his official site in July and August 2006[9] and gave a video interview in December 2006 to promote the movie.[10]

  • It is unclear how Thorn, Murtagh's dragon, matured to rival Saphira despite their age difference, but Christopher Paolini has stated that it will be revealed in the coming book.
  • The nature of the spirits that sorcerers summon will be revealed; already it has been stated that they are not the souls of sentient creatures returned from the afterlife.
  • According to Eldest, Eragon and Saphira have given their oath to return to the elves for further training in the ancient language.

In February 2007, Paolini answered an Open Letter of the Czech fan site Alagaesie.net and Eragon1.net. He answered the following questions regarding the third book of the Inheritance Cycle (before it was split into two books):[11]

  • Information about Brom's lover (referred to by Angela) will be revealed.
  • Eragon has yet to acquire the new weapon referred to in the first book, wherein Solembum said, "When the time comes and you need a weapon, look under the roots of the Menoa tree".
  • Eragon has yet to visit the Vault of Souls and speak his name, as instructed by Solembum as a continuation of the above command; "Then, when all seems lost and your power is insufficient, go to the rock of Kuthian and speak your name to open the Vault of Souls".
  • More about dwarf culture will be revealed.
  • Ajihad's background will be revealed.
  • More of Arya's background will be revealed.

On March 18, 2008 a spoiler was released on the cycle's homepage Alagaesia.com, stating, that "In Brisingr [...] Eragon will meet a god"[12]
