Paolini's family recognized his talent and the novel's potential immediately and self-published it under their home-based publisher. They toured the United States, having teenage Paolini give talks at libraries, bookstores, and schools, but the book didn't garner much attention. Then, in the summer of 2002, American novelist Carl Hiaasen saw Paolini at one of his stops, and his stepson picked up a copy of the book. Hiaasen's stepson loved the story, and Hiaasen subsequently brought it to the Alfred A. Knopf publishing house. Eragon was then republished in 2003 when Paolini was 19 years old.
View this post on InstagramThe novel Eragon follows the titular character, a poor, 15-year-old farmboy who finds a mysterious blue stone in the mountains. The stone ends up being a dragon egg, which hatches and marks Eragon with a silver mark, bonding with him. Eragon names the dragon Saphira, and following a tragedy, the two are thrust into a magical world where they're being pursued by the evil King Galbatorix. Guided by the old storyteller Brom, Eragon learns the ways of the dragon riders. Pairing up with new allies, Eragon and Saphira travel across the land of Alagaësia to join a rebel group determined to overthrow King Galbatorix and restore peace from his tyrannical rule.
Eragon, the other titles in The Inheritance Cycle, as well as other works by Paolini, are out now and available wherever books are sold.
