BOOK 3 TITLED - BRISINGR, BOOK COVER, AND NEW RELEASE DATE!
Book 3 now officially has a name - BRISINGR! Christopher Paolini explains, "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 next book, it will be revealed to be even more meaningful than even Eragon could have known."
Random House has also released the book cover of Brisingr, which will feature the golden dragon Glaedr on a black cover with the familiar golden text. You can view the book cover here.
In addition to the announcement of the book title, Random Househas changed the release date of Brisingr from September 23, 2008 to September 20, 2008, after an out-pouring of enthusiasm from book sellers and fans to hold midnight release parties on Friday night, September 19th. The book will now go on sale at 12:01 AM on Saturday, September 20th, 2008.
Brisingr will have an initial first print of 2.5 million copies - the largest first print of any Random House childrens book. An audio version of Brisingr> will release simultaneously with the book itself.

NEW ALAGAESIA NEWSLETTER! December 23, 2007
Christopher Paolini recently sent out a new Alagaesia newsletter, his first in a few months, discussing his progress with Book 3, the title and cover of Book 3, his decision to convert the trilogy into a cycle (four books), and more!
- I know from your letters that you are curious about the name and cover design of Book Three. The decision to add a fourth book to the Inheritance cycle has affected many things, this included. I promise you’ll be the first to hear as soon as the title of Book Three is announced. And, like you, I am excited to see what the cover will look like!
Christopher goes on to mention that some exciting pre-publication events for Book 3 will start this January and continue until the book's publication on September 28th, 2008! As always, you can subscribe for free to Alagaesia News by visiting Alagaesia.com

VIDEO ANNOUNCMENT FROM CP! October 30, 2007
Random House added the video announcement from Christopher Paolini himself just a short while ago. In the video, shot at Christopher's writing desk in his home in Montana, Christopher discusses how the series evolved from a trilogy to a cycle (four books), his progress with the book, and even gives us a hint at what will come in Book 3, saying that a major character will die at the end of the book.
The video can be watched on the official Inheritance website.

THE INHERITANCE CYCLE - NOW FOUR BOOKS! October 30, 2007
It was announced today that the Inheritance Trilogy is the Inheritance Trilogy no more - a forth, full-length novel has been added to the Trilogy, expanding Eragon and Saphira's adventures.
"I plotted out the Inheritance series as a trilogy nine years ago, when I was fifteen. At that time, I never imagined I’d write all three books, much less that they would be published" said Paolini. "When I finally delved into Book Three, it soon became obvious that the remainder of the story was far too big to fit in one volume. Having spent so long thinking about the series as a trilogy, it was difficult for me to realize that, in order to be true to my characters and to address all of the plot points and unanswered questions Eragon and Eldest raised, I needed to split the end of the series into two books."
In addition to the announcement of a fourth book in the series, the release date has been announced for the third book, which still remains un-named: September 23, 2008.
