Inheritance

Christopher Paolini is an internationally acclaimed author, best known for composing the high-fantasy Inheritance Cycle consisting of four books, namely Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, and Inheritance. Born on November 17, 1983, in Los Angeles, California, Paolini's inherent love for literature was nurtured and cultivated from a young age in the heart of Montana's Paradise Valley, where he spent his formative years being homeschooled. At merely fifteen years of age, his passion for mythical sagas, resplendent with dragons and knights, ignited his storytelling prowess and led him to pen down the first draft of his widely renowned debut novel "Eragon". The product of his vivid imagination, Eragon, was initially self-published by his family, and its success caught the attention of Alfred A. Knopf Publishing, leading to its re-publication on a larger scale. The book not only claimed the honor of being a New York Times bestseller, but also evolved into a major motion picture, solidifying Paolini's place in the literary realm and establishing him as an influential contemporary fantasy author. Over the course of his thriving career, Paolini has put forth a myriad of awe-inspiring works, each testament to his unbridled creativity and dedication to high-fantasy. With a unique storytelling approach, he skilfully brings alive the intertwining worlds of magic, mystery, and adventure, captivating readers across the globe. His latest novel, "To Sleep in a Sea of Stars", ably demonstrates his proficient handling of science fiction, taking his writing one step further. As an author, Paolini continues to inspire and contribute significantly to the realm of imaginative literature.
