Kvetha Fricäya. Greetings Friends.
As many of you
have heard, I am writing the final chapters of Book Three, which will be
published September 23, 2008. Earlier this year, I realized that I had too
much story to fit into one volume and that a fourth novel was necessary to
complete the adventures of Eragon and Saphira as I originally envisioned them.
Therefore, what began as the Inheritance trilogy has become the Inheritance
cycle.
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!
My friends at
Random House have some exciting pre-publication activities planned for 2008.
You can anticipate that something new and interesting will be revealed each
month, beginning in January.
I wish you a
happy holiday season, and . . .
May your swords
stay sharp!
Christopher Paolini
