Inheritance (Paolini Novel)
''Inheritance'' (or Vault of Souls) is a 2011 novel written by American author Christopher Paolini. It is the fourth and final novel in The Inheritance Cycle tetralogy. The Inheritance Cycle was originally intended to be a trilogy, but Paolini has stated that during writing, the length of ''Brisingr'' grew, and the book was split into two parts to be published separately. Because of this, many plot elements originally intended for ''Brisingr'' are in ''Inheritance''. Since the release of ''Inheritance'', Paolini has expressed his future interest in expanding upon Alagaësia and the Inheritance Cycle. In an interview, he talked about a potential "book five," a prequel centering on Brom, and said that he has planned "around seven more stories set in Alagaësia — and one of those is in fact a series." Development Decision for a fourth book In a video that was released on October 30, 2007, Christopher Paolini stated that during the work on the third book, he realized it would bec ...
