Title:Brisingr
Release date:Saturday 12:01am September 20, 2008
Publisher:Random House
It is official; book three of the Christopher Paolin's Inheritance series will be titled "Brisingr". The title comes from Eragon, where "brisingr" means fire in the ancient-language. Paolin states in the January 16th Press conference from NY:
"BRISINGR is one of the first words I thought of for this title, and it's always felt right to me," said Christopher Paolini. "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"
Upon Christopher's visit to New York, many things were reveled. To great joy it is stated that the book will be published exactly at midnight at book stores around America. In addition the audio book will be released at the same time.Further more, Random House Publishing is expecting to have a first release of 2.5 million copies for Brisingr. The book is expatiated to hit the New York Times best seller list almost instantly.
What is Inheritance?
The Inheritance Cycle contains a four part (we are now on book 3) epic adventure of a boy named Eragon; a former farmer who stumbles upon a dragon's egg one day while hunting for his family. In this fantasy type novel, very similar to the Lord of the Rings Series, Eragon's new found dragon egg hatches into a blue dragon named Saphira. After Eragon's home is attacked by the evil Ra'zac, his uncle is killed forcing him to flee. Eragon and the local Storyteller named Brom escape with Saphira, where he learns that Brom is really not just an old village story teller, but a famous Dragon Rider from the ancient days.
The story takes place in the land of Alagesia, which is ruled by the evil king Galbatorix. Galbatroix is a former dragon rider who owns a black dragon named Shruikan. He is thought to be the only dragon rider left, and Shruikan is the only known dragon alive. However the common myth or legend of the land says that Galbatorix has three dragon eggs in his possession. The book states that dragon's only hatch for their true master, and can remain in the egg for thousands of years if needed. Galbatorix is has been attempting to hatch the eggs without success.
Eragon and Brom lead on a mission to revenge the death of Eragon's uncle, Garrow, by attempting to track the Ra'zac. On this mission they encounter many obstacle's which make a very action rich novel. After the plot develops Eragon grows more and more powerful with his new dragon, and begins to lead on a more important mission; Galbatorix.
The Inheritance Cycle is an epic novel in new line fiction. The cycle is classified as a young adult slash children's genre for its fantasy like structure. However the book is a great read for people of all ages. Christopher Paolin has done an excellent job on this master piece and I, among many people, am anticipating the release of Brisingr.
