Christopher is currently on in Germany as part of his European and Australian book tour, set to last through July. Christopher’s German publisher ran contest for fans to create a song based on the Inheritance cycle and it looks as though one group has risen to the challenge. Christopher recently met the pair responsible for the song at one of his Germany book tour stops, posing for photos and recording a teaser video for the release of the song and its accompanying music video.
We know very little about the song itself, but the German publisher (and the band responsible for the song) seem to be hyping it a great deal, indicating that the results should be promising! We’ll post the music video when it releases this Sunday. Below is Christopher’s teaser announcement for the video’s reveal:
Christopher Paolini will be touring the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand this spring and early summer. For more information, view both news posts here and here. More details coming soon!

Official #PaoliniOnTour International Tour Date List
This is going to be a really big exciting trip. I left home on April 9th, and I return home on July 2nd. In between, I’ll be visiting everywhere from Amsterdam to Australia. Some of the places I’ve been before (most notably on my overseas tour for Eldest), and some of these places I’ll be visiting for the very first time.
I’m looking forward to meeting as many fans of the Inheritance cycle as possible, and my goal is to sign all of their books!
As I travel around, you can follow me on Twitter at @InheritanceCP. I’ll also be writing regular updates to let you know where I’ll be signing and to share interesting stories along the way.
If you can make it to one of my events, I look forward to meeting you then. In the meantime:
May your swords stay sharp!

We recently posted about a Rolling Stones feature profiling Christopher Paolini and the family behind one of the world’s best-selling fantasy series. One Rolling Stones reporter was allowed to shadow Christopher and his family during the hayday surrounding the release of Inheritance, and the article is the result of the reporter’s observations and interviews. It offers interesting insight into Christopher’s mind during some of the busiest days his life, as well as a glimpse at the family members who help to reenforce his success. The article is now available in its entirety on the Rolling Stones website!
You can view several incredible photos of Christopher (not available in the online version of the article) in our past news post about the article. In addition, we went ahead and summarized the article’s key parts — including new and interesting information about Christopher, his family, and the writing process behind the Cycle. View our first Rolling Stones article here.
