ALFRED A. KNOPF BOOKS FOR YOUNG READERS UNVEILS
TITLE AND COVER FOR BOOK THREE IN CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI’S
#1 BESTSELLING INHERITANCE CYCLE
BOOK THREE IN THE INHERITANCE CYCLE WILL HAVE A
FIRST PRINTING OF 2.5 MILLION COPIES
New York, NY (January 16, 2008)—Following the #1 bestselling novels Eragon and Eldest, the third book
in Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance cycle will be titled BRISINGR, it was announced today by Nancy
Hinkel, Publishing Director of Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Random House
Children’s Books. BRISINGR (BRIS-ing-gr), an Old Norse word for fire, will be familiar to fans of the
cycle as the first word in the ancient language that Eragon hears. The jacket for BRISINGR has been
illustrated by the renowned John Jude Palencar, illustrator of both the Eragon and Eldest covers.
“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.”
BRISINGR will have a first printing of 2.5 million copies, the largest initial run ever for a Random House
Children’s Books title. Originally slated for release on September 23, 2008, the book will now go on sale at
12:01 a.m. on Saturday, September 20, 2008. Hinkel explains, “After the initial announcement of Book
Three’s release, we received an outpouring of requests from booksellers hoping to host midnight launch
parties. We have responded to their enthusiasm by advancing the date, and we know fans will welcome the
opportunity to celebrate the publication together.”
