The third book of the Inheritance Trilogy by Christopher Paolini will feature the conclusion of the series. It is the second sequel to Eragon and the sequel to Eldest. As of yet, no title nor due date has been officially announced.
Although very little has been released, a few things have been confirmed by the author.
The content of the cover is one of the few things confirmed by Paolini. Apparently the cover will feature an emerald green dragon looking to the right. It is unknown who this dragon is; it is presumed to hatch from the last egg.
In March of 2006, Christopher Paolini was interviewed[1] by the fan site www.shurtugal.com where he revealed the following information:
When a dragon and Rider become linked, the Rider's magic immediately takes on the color of the dragon's scales. However, this does not mean that if you are a magic user born with green energy, you cannot be paired with an amethyst-colored dragon, for example. On being linked, your magic will automatically change from green to purple - although you can change colors at your will. Paolini states that although Eragon's magic is blue, he could produce red fire if he wanted to.
At the end of Eldest, the Varden favor Nasuada still in terms of leadership, although Paolini has hinted that in book 3 this might change.
Paolini has said that it is possible that Eragon may have unknown family members that have not been introduced so far in the series, though he did not confirm this.
Paolini also mentioned that in book 3 it will be revealed if Saphira ever finds a mate.
More information about Tornac (Murtagh's old friend and trainer) will be revealed.
Elva, along with "every other character," will have an important role to play.
At Comic Con, 2006, Paolini said of the Green Dragon Rider that there are "plenty of clues to the new dragon rider in Eragon and Eldest." He also said that while the readers shouldn't be shocked by the identity of the new Rider, it may be "a tad bit surprising". Paolini also said that he made a major change in Nasuada's character. [2]
The book will not be titled Glaedr. Many people believed this after a large fold out found in the deluxe edition of Eldest showed a cover with a picture of Glaedr.
An excerpt was released with the deluxe edition of Eldest.
Also, in Eragon there is a prophecy made about Eragon's future. It includes these hints to the third book:
Infinity or long life
He will leave this land (Alagaesia) forever
