This isn’t quite breaking news, but if you haven’t heard (and are as huge a fan of Paolini’s Inheritance books as I am you’ll be thrilled to know), both a title and release date have been announced for the third book in the Inheritance series. The title will be “Brisingr”, and as Christopher Paolini says on his website (http://www.alagaesia.com/), “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.”
The release date has been set for September 20th, 2008 after being moved back from the original date of September 23rd so fans could celebrate with a midnight release party on a Friday night. The illustration for the dust jacket (beautifully done by John Jude Palencar who illustrated both Eragon and Eldest) can be found at alagaesia.com.
