This edition is packed with bonus content, released around the same time as the FWW to capitalise on the hype of the new book. This book was available to buy from B&E until early 2023.

“What makes this edition so special? I’m so glad you asked! It contains just shy of FIFTY PAGES of additional material. These include the following:

  • Deleted scenes from Murtagh’s point of view. These were in the original, self-published edition of Eragon and haven’t seen the light of day since.

  • A digitally painted, full-color map of Alagaësia. (It’s absolutely gorgeous.)

  • A 20th-anniversary retrospective letter from yours truly on the writing of Eragon.

  • An extensive behind-the-scenes Q&A on names, languages, characters, dragons, and various other aspects of the world of Alagaësia.

  • Large amounts of concept art for the map: Saphira’s eye, the dwarf runes, the Liduen Kvaedhí (elves’ writing system), and the yawë symbol.

  • A never-before-seen look at the very first hand-written page of Eragon, as well as selected images of early plotting and editing.”
