Brisingr , the third book of the Inheritance Cycle, will be released on September 20, 2008 at 12:01 AM. It is to have 896 pages. Author Christopher Paolini previously targeted to finish writing the book by spring of 2007. Due to the size of the book, however, the release date was pushed back to 2008, and a Book 4 was announced. The name of the series was changed from the Inheritance Trilogy to the Inheritance Cycle.
On January 16, 2008 the title of book three was released as Brisingr. "Brisingr" (meaning Fire) is the first word from the Ancient Language that Eragon used. Concerning Brisingr, Paolini said, "In this new book, it will be revealed to be even more meaningful than even Eragon could have known." One must not forget that the titles of the first two books in the cycle were directly related to major characters so it is likely that Brisingr will directly relate to a character, new or old.
