What is Inheritance Cycle?
{{italictitle}} The '''''Inheritance Cycle''''' is a series of [[young-adult fiction]][[fantasy]] books written by [[Christopher Paolini]]. ==Origin== In 1998, [[Christopher Paolini]], then 15 years old decided to write a [[fantasy novel]] that would be like [[The Lord of the Rings]] and [[Star Wars]] but with a [[protagonist]] who rides a [[dragon]]. Paolini spent a [[month]] working on [[writing]] a plan for a [[trilogy]] of books about this. Then he spent a year writing the first [[book]] called [[Eragon]]. Then he gave the book to his [[father]] and [[mother]] and asked them to [[edit]] it. Then his [[parents]] started their own [[publishing]] [[company]] and [[publish]]ed [[Eragon]] in 2000 when Paolini was 17. Then the [[company]] Alfred A. Knopf paid to become the new [[publisher]] in 2002 and it became a [[bestseller]], which is to say a book that a lot of people bought. Paolini wrote a [[sequel]] called [[Eldest]]. After writing it, he started writing a third book called [[Brisingr]] but then decided that it was too long so he wrote it as two books called [[Brisingr]] and [[Inheritance (book)]]. He then decided to call it the Inheritance Cycle instead of the [[Inheritance]] [[Trilogy]]. == Books == *''[[Eragon]]'' *''[[Eldest]]'' *''[[Brisingr]]'' *''Inheritance'' == Characters == *'' Eragon: A farm boy who finds a dragon egg and becomes a Dragon Rider.'' *'' Saphira: Eragon's'''' sapphire'''' dragon.'' * Galbatorix, an [[evil]] [[dragon]] rider who is now [[Emperor]].
