Ever heard of this novel guys?It is a series of books about dragons.Here's some info about it:



The Inheritance Cycle is a series of fantasy  novels by  Christopher Paolini. It was previously titled the Inheritance Trilogy until Paolini's announcement on October 30, 2007 that there would be a fourth book. Set in the fictional world  of  Alagaësia  (pronounced  /æləˈɡeɪziə/ ), the novels focus on a teenage boy named  Eragon  and his dragon  Saphira. The first book in the series,  Eragon , was self-published by Paolini's family in 2002 and re-published in 2003 by Knopf ; it was followed by  Eldest  in 2005. Both were New York Times bestsellers | [1]  | [2]  and together have sold more than 20 million copies worldwide.The third book in the series,  Brisingr , was published on September 20, 2008, and the fourth book,  Inheritance, is set to be released on November 8, 2011.The series was intended to be a trilogy, but this changed as Paolini decided that the story was too complex to conclude in one book.

In June 2011, Paolini wrote the last few words in the series, after more than ten years of work.

In 2006, a feature film  was released that was based on the first book in the cycle, Eragon, starring  Ed Speleers,  Jeremy Irons ,  John Malkovich  and  Djimon Hounsou.

In the fictional land of Alagaësia, there was an order who oversaw the countries and brought peace to the world. This group was known as the Dragon Riders, for they rode Dragons, which they were bonded with at the birth of their dragon, in accordance with a pact made between elves and dragon millennia earlier. One Dragon Rider named Galbatorix had his dragon slain by a group of Urgals (somewhat similar to Orcs from other fantasy) which drove him mad. Denied another Dragon by the Council of Elder Riders, Galbatorix blamed the Council for the death of his dragon and sought to destroy the order. He made an alliance with a young rider, named Morzan, and with his help slew an elder rider. Then, with the help of Morzan, the first of the thirteen Forsworn, he stole a black dragon, named Shruikan. He forced Shruikan to bind with him, and later destroyed the Riders and their dragons, except the thirteen Forsworn. Since then, he has ruled parts of Alagaësia as a tyrannical King. He hasn't ruled the elves nor dwarves.While an accurate time-line of various events is as yet unavailable, Paolini has hinted on an interview that based on character Elain's pregnancy, we may infer the events of the first three books to have happened within a span of months.
