Eragon fan-site, Shur'tugal published an interview with Christopher Paolini, where he talks about the third book of his Inheritance series: Brisingr.

Read the interview here.

Shurtugal.com: Christopher Paolini released a new Alagaesia newsletter, announcing that Brisingr is now officially complete, a subtitle for Brisingr, his trip to Book Expo America, the Brisingr audio book, and the Vroengard Academy game!

As Christopher has said several times in past interviews, he still sees Brisingr and Book 4 as two parts to one book. Because of this, he has decided to add a subtitle to both Brisingr and Book 4. The subtitle of Brisingr, The Seven Promises of Eragon Shadeslayer and Saphira Bjartskular, is intended to be the title of the first of the two sections.

The newsletter also contained a video from Christopher in which he discusses his involvement with the Vroengard Academy game, the game itself, the world of Inheritance, and his plans for writing once the Inheritance Cycle is complete. The video can be viewed at the official Inheritance website.

Shurtugal.com: We're extremely excited to announce that our friends at Random House have provided Shur'tugal with an exclusive, never before seen spoiler video from Christopher Paolini himself discussing Brisingr! Please note that this video does contain a brief spoiler from the third book in the Inheritance Cycle.

Shurtugal.com: Book 3 now officially has a name - BRISINGR! Christopher Paolini explains, "BRISINGR is one of the first words I thought of for this title, and it?s always felt right to me. As the first ancient-language word that Eragon learns, it has held particular significance for his legacy as a Dragon Rider. In this new book, it will be revealed to be even more meaningful than even Eragon could have known."

In addition to the announcement of the book title, Random House has changed the release date of Brisingr from September 23, 2008 to September 20, 2008, after an out-pouring of enthusiasm from book sellers and fans to hold midnight release parties on Friday night, September 19th. The book will now go on sale at 12:01 AM on Saturday, September 20th, 2008.

Christopher Paolini, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Eragon and Eldest, the first two books in his Inheritance series, will write an additional, fourth novel about his hero Eragon.
