Announced in line with the Bologna Book Fair underway now, Knopf Children’s will publish MURTAGH by Christopher Paolini, a new standalone novel in the Eragon universe, on November 7. Paolini says, “Murtagh is the novel I’ve been waiting to write for over 13 years.” The publisher says the book will have a first printing of two million copies in the US. It will publish simultaneously in the UK by Penguin Children’s and Canada by Penguin Teen.
