Eragon, the first book in the Inheritance trilogy, was a smash hit publishing phenomenon that keeps on going: well over a million hardcovers sold in one year, a #1 New York Times bestseller that's been on the list for over a year and a Book Sense Book of the Year. It showed stunning success across the board in chains, independents, and libraries. With rights sold in 36 countries, it's an international phenonmen as well. Readers everywhere are dying to know what's in store for Eragon and his dragon in Eldest, the highly anticipated next installment of the trilogy. A major motion picture of Eragon is in the works from Fox 2000. We expect Eldest to be a blow-out bestseller.
