    About MURTAGH
    Master storyteller and internationally bestselling author Christopher Paolini returns to the World of Eragon in this stunning epic fantasy set a year after the events of the Inheritance Cycle. Join Dragon Rider-and fan favorite-Murtagh and his dragon as they confront a perilous new enemy!
    “Christopher Paolini is a true rarity.” -The Washington Post
    The world is no longer safe for the Dragon Rider Murtagh and his dragon, Thorn. An evil king has been toppled, and they are left to face the consequences of the reluctant role they played in his reign of terror. Now they are hated and alone, exiled to the outskirts of society.
    Throughout the land, hushed voices whisper of brittle ground and a faint scent of brimstone in the air-and Murtagh senses that something wicked lurks in the shadows of Alagaësia. So begins an epic journey into lands both familiar and untraveled, where Murtagh and Thorn must use every weapon in their arsenal, from brains to brawn, to find and outwit a mysterious witch. A witch who is much more than she seems.
    In this gripping novel starring one of the most popular characters from Christopher Paolini’s blockbuster Inheritance Cycle, a Dragon Rider must discover what he stands for in a world that has abandoned him. Murtagh is the perfect book to enter the World of Eragon for the first time . . . or to joyfully return.
    Praise for Christopher Paolini:
    “A spellbinding fantasy writer.” -The Boston Globe
    “A breathtaking and unheard-of success.” -USA Today
    “Make[s] literary magic.” -People

    I also rushed through reading Inheritance and that was the toughest one to remember. Really looking forward to rereading it some day but first, Murtagh! Thank you Christopher Paolini for crafting an amazing world and characters.

      My problem was that I re-read the first three books before Inheritance came out, in preparation. Then I read a portion of Inheritance, set it down because I didn't want it to be over, and didn't pick it up again for YEARS.
      To this day, I've probably read Eragon, Eldest, and Brisngr a half dozen times each, but Inheritance only once. It's so fuzzy in my mind. I remember basically nothing except they keyest of key plot points (e.g., hello Firnen).
      Just over halfway through Murtagh, and I'm getting "I don't want to finish!" anxiety again, but I am NOT PUTTING IT DOWN. 🤣

      I read the Inheritance Cycle as a very small child, probably a couple times from the ages of 7-12 but now, at age 20, I sat down a month ago and decided to re-listen to them because of the release of Murtagh and it has been a wonderful experience, highly recommend. I finished Brisingr yesterday.

      I started reading the series when I was 11 and finished four in one year and then the next year I found out about the fork the witch and the worm then I recently reread all of them in anticipation for Murtaugh. So it is still fresh enough in my mind.

    Ok but does anyone else LOVE when Murtaugh saw the gilded lily in Murtaugh, and he was so confused? I felt so smart- hehehe I know how the gilded lilies came to be. ( also I like how Arya is correct in saying that it could reproduce)

      @@mildlydazed9608 yeah! I feel like it really connects the eragon and murtaugh, which is one reason why the books are so good. You can tell that the characters DON'T know everything, yet the reader knows more than most. You can see that the characters that exist go on with their lives, even if we don't see them, and I adore that.

      Brisingr was originally supposed to be the last book. Eragon was supposef to be a trilogy, but while writing Brisingr Paolini decided that he wanted to explore the characters more and split the series in four. That meant, that he had to explore some new plotlines to make Inheritance longer. That‘s why the last one‘s tone is a Little different from the other books. And that‘s why he doesn’t remember everything so well🤣

    Hello! Please tell me, will Murtagh ever be published in Russia? There are a lot of Christopher Paolini fans in our country who love his works! I would really like Russian fans to be able to read a wonderful book from the world of Eragon, which all the fans of the world have been waiting for for 12 years!
