Murtagh

"Murtagh came out in 2023, which was the 20th anniversary of the hardcover release of Eragon … I know, we’re all getting old. Murtagh is a standalone, although less of a standalone than you might think at the moment, because it is setting up some future stuff that’s going on in the world of Eragon – very large stuff that will become apparent with Tales from Alagaësia: Volume Two, which I’m currently finishing up, and then Murtagh II, which is next on the docket. I really enjoyed coming back to the world of Eragon. For a long time, I thought I was done with it, even though there were things I had hoped to write about. That’s just life, and I needed to go out and try my hand at some other projects, which I had great fun doing. But eventually, I really wanted to come back to this world, and Murtagh was a good way to do it."
