Inheritance Cycle readers have been clamoring for years for a graphic novel adaptation of the series, and thanks to one talented fan, we’re able to read the entire prologue in comic/graphic novel form!

It’s been a while since the last update from Christopher on the progress of his scifi novel, referred to by the author as #TSiaSoS (a code-name, not the final title!). Today, Christopher took to his official blog to discuss where things stand with the project! The biggest news is that Christopher is working on another
We're celebrating the release of Rachel Hartman's Tess of the Road with a mega-giveaway featuring the author's three books, including Seraphina and Shadow Scale, as well as an autographed copy of Christopher Paolini's Eragon!
