Although The Inheritance Almanac released just yesterday, our coverage of the book — including our upcoming free-to-read “Companion to the Companion” guide has only just begun! We’re excited to share a 14 page preview of The Inheritance Almanac with Shur’tugal readers thanks to Random House!
We are overjoyed to announce that after years of hard work, The Inheritance Almanac – a comprehensive A to Z guide to the world of Alagaesia – is now available in stores in the United States, Canada, Australia, and United Kingdom, with more countries coming soon. The Inheritance Almanac is the only A to Z guide to all things Inheritance currently available, and is officially sanctioned and approved by Christopher Paolini (and published by Random House). 
Christopher Paolini’s world of Alagaësia is a magical land, full of mysterious people, objects, and places-one that has captivated millions of fans across the globe. Now, with the Inheritance Fan Book, those fans have a resource in the form of an A-to-Z almanac, where they can find everything they ever wanted to know about this fascinating world. From Arya to Zar’roc, this is an exhaustive encyclopedia about the land of the Inheritance cycle that also offers little-known facts gleaned from dozens of interviews with Christopher Paolini. Did you know . . . -that Helgrind, the den of the Raz’ac, is based on a real rock formation? -that Saphira’s blue-tinted vision was inspired by Paolini’s own color blindness? -that the Broddrings are the original humans who traveled to Alagaësia with King Palancar? A must-have book for every Inheritance fan!We highly recommend visiting our Inheritance Almanac mini-site located at Shurtugal.com/Almanac for more information!
