The Book ' Brisingr' (also known as 'The Seven Promises of Eragon Shadeslayer and Saphira Bjartskular') was released on Sept 20th 2008 as the third book in the series 'Inheritance Cycle' written by Christopher Paolini. Brisingr means "fire" in the fictional Ancient Language of Alagaesia, and is the true name for Fire, which is the magic Eragon used in the first book. The book is not legally available for free online reading but can be purchased online at Amazon, ebay, or Barnes and Noble.
Christopher has created elves that are agnostic and/or in some cases atheistic, he has very devoutly religious dwarves and humans, and his main character, Eragon, appears to also be seeking answers about his faith and beliefs. This has lead many to feel that he is using his characters as a platform for his own beliefs. However, Christopher has stated in public interviews, particularly a 2008 Herald Sun interview, that he will not discuss his own beliefs in public, but that he will say that the beliefs he has given his characters do NOT necessarily represent what he himself believes. He states that he wanted to give his characters a "well-rounded" set of beliefs and belief systems to make them more interesting to readers, and adds that he feels that it shouldn't matter to readers what his own private personal beliefs are. He emphasizes that this is an imaginary world with imaginary beings, and insists that people should not get so caught up in trying to figure out if he is inserting any "hidden agendas".
Christopher Paolini wrote the Inheritance Cycle series, which includes the books "Eragon," "Eldest," and "Brisingr."
Christopher Paolini has announced that he is working on a new book set in the world of "Eragon," but there is no confirmed release date yet for his fourth book. Fans will need to stay tuned for updates from the author.

There will be a total of four books in The Inheritance Cycle. Christopher Paolini has advised that he still intends to continue writing after this, but it will be with a different storyline and most likely some new sets of characters. He hasn't ruled out bringing some old characters back.
Yes, the Inheritance Trilogy is now being called the Inheritance Cycle.
The following page after the story in Brisingr says:
Here Ends the Third Book
of the Inheritance Cycle.
The Story Will Continue and Conclude
in Book Four.
The last book is titled Inheritance. It was released by Alfred A. Knopf publishers on November 8, 2011.
he's 17, they show his birthday in i think eragon or maybe eldest
EDIT: At the beginning of Eragone he is 15, a few pages later he is 16. So by the time the last book ends (Inheritance) he could be anywhere between 16 and 19.
Over 30 million copies of "Inheritance" by Christopher Paolini have been sold worldwide since its initial publication.
His old fan mail address was Christopher.Paolini.Fan.Address@gmail.com. However this address has been closed since it was created. From what I have heard he does not have an email that he personally checks.
From what I heard, and what I can answer, they are trying to make Eldest into a movie, but with everything they pretty much messed up in Eragon the Movie, it's going to be hard to find what will go into Eldest to make it match up and still follow the original storyline.
My friend said no, but I'm most likely sure it will be filmed, I say it might be finished 2009 or 2010 but that is just a wild guess.
Hopefully not because the first film was so bad. They totally changed half the storyline so I don't think they would be able to film a second one as it wouldn't fit.
By someone else,
You! Yeah, you up above me! Listen, It WILL be made into a movie because I've seen the trailer. Also, you are right about the movie being cheesy, they changed half the story and it was too short. I liked it anyways.

I hope not, they screwed up the first one so bad it would be impossible. And because of how much they changed the movie I now hate it(the movie not the book, i am in love with the book).
****DRAGON LOVER****
The first movie was terrible because the Ra'zac got killed then and aren't suppose to until the 3rd book. But they could always just kill the parents instead i guess. Plus Murtagh wasn't taken away, there were no twins, and Adjahed didn't die. If they are able to make the movie i give props to the director. I say it should be a movie tho so yeah. GO DRAGONS
~A new person (Yeah I'm adding on!)~
Okay to the person on top of me. First of all, Murtagh wasn't taken away until Eldest, AND Ajihad doesn't die til the next one either. k? And to the people up above that, you're right they screwed Eragon up SO BAD it's probably impossible to make a second movie. Christopher Paolini is probably pissed off. But I gotta say Eragon the movie wasn't screwed up as much as some others (ex: The Lightning Thief). And I hear they're making a movie for them, so it might happen. But the movie for Eragon was s'posed to come out about 2 years ago. So I'm not that sure either.

He has also supported the International Fund for Animal Welfare and the Wildlife Conservation Society through donations and awareness-raising efforts.
On the first day the book was released, Brisingr sold 500,000 copies in North America alone. (From the Canadian Press article) According to publisher Random House Children's Books, "Brisingr" sold 550,000 copies in the first 24 hours, four times higher than "Eldest," the second of Paolini's planned four-book series. It was the highest opening ever for a Random House children's book, but far below the 8.3 million copies in the United States alone for the launch of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," and the 1.3 million for Stephenie Meyer's "Breaking Dawn," released at midnight on Aug. 2.
As of 2021, Christopher Paolini's net worth is estimated to be around $3 million. He achieved success and wealth through his popular book series, "Eragon," which was adapted into a movie.
The exact amount that Christopher Paolini was paid for Eragon has not been publicly disclosed. However, he received an advance from his publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, and earned royalties based on the sales of the book.
Christopher Paolini's parents are Kenneth Paolini and Talita Hodgkinson.
The reference to a lonely god in the author's note in Brisingr is meant to evoke the idea that the act of creation can be a lonely endeavor, as the author pours their heart and soul into crafting a world and characters. It can also symbolize the isolation and responsibility that comes with being an author, creating and controlling entire universes.
Christopher Paolini has won the 2006 Quill Award which is voted upon by the consumers not by the critics. He also won the following awards: Rebecca Caudill Young Readers' Book Award, 2006, for Eragon; Quill Award, Young Adult/Teen category, 2006, for Eldest.
