BOOK III RELEASE DATE AND FOURTH BOOK

After shurtugal.com announced that important information was to soon be released, the next day an announcement was made on shutugal.com, alagaesia.com and various other websites revealing the release date for book III of the inheritance trilogy. However, at the same time it was anounced that christopher paolini would be writing an unexpected fourth book, contradicting the original "inheritance trilogy". After the complex storyline of the first two in the "trilogy", Eragon and Eldest, its not suprising that Paolini wasnt able to fit the ending into a single book. However, not many were actually expecting the planned "trilogy" to include a fourth volume, even paolini himself.

The third book in the series is still untitled, but will most probably become the rumored "Empire" as it begins with an "e", is six letters long, and corresponds with the story. Despite this the release date however was still announced, and will come out next fall on September 23, 2008. This was a slightly longer release than it took after the first book came out, with the gap a few months longer.

In addition to all of this, Paolini has released a video of himself talking at his desk about his progress in the third book and what is to come in it. He states in this video that a major character will die at the end of the book. You can access the video at a link in www.shurtugal.com but unfortunately it seems you may need a mac to watch it, aggrivating certain inheritance fans.

Here is the original post made on shurtugal.com:

"Inheritance Cycle - Now Four Books!
It was announced today that the Inheritance Trilogy is the Inheritance Trilogy no more - a forth, full-length novel has been added to the Trilogy, expanding Eragon and Saphira's adventures.

"I plotted out the Inheritance series as a trilogy nine years ago, when I was fifteen. At that time, I never imagined I’d write all three books, much less that they would be published" said Paolini. "When I finally delved into Book Three, it soon became obvious that the remainder of the story was far too big to fit in one volume. Having spent so long thinking about the series as a trilogy, it was difficult for me to realize that, in order to be true to my characters and to address all of the plot points and unanswered questions Eragon and Eldest raised, I needed to split the end of the series into two books."

In addition to the announcement of a fourth book in the series, the release date has been announced for the third book, which still remains un-named: September 23, 2008.

Keep checking back on Shur'tugal as we update with even more information regarding Book 3, Book 4, and more! Also, be sure to check back on Shur'tugal and Alagaesia at 5 PM EST for a video announcement from Christopher Paolini!"
