Eragon Eragon is the first novel in the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini.

His parents saw the final manuscript and in 2001 decided to self-publish "Eragon;" Paolini spent a year traveling around the United States promoting the novel. By chance, the book was discovered by Carl Hiaasen, who got it re-published by Alfred A. Knopf. The re-published version was released on August 26, 2003.
