Characters In The Deverry Cycle
This article lists some of the major characters in the Deverry Cycle by Katharine Kerr. The core characters of the Deverry cycle appear under different names in various books and at various times due to being reincarnated.

Inheritance Cycle
''The Inheritance Cycle'' is a tetralogy of young adult high fantasy novels written by American author Christopher Paolini. Set in the fictional world of Alagaësia (), the novels focus on the adventures of a teenage boy named Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, as they struggle to overthrow the evil king Galbatorix.
