To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini will be published globally on 15 September 2020.

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is a masterful epic science fiction novel from the New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of the Inheritance Cycle.

Paolini says:

‘I hope readers will take away a sense of awe and wonder, a sense of adventure, a sense of language, a sense of the weirdness of life, a sense of movement and immensity, and satisfaction at the end of the book.’

Paolini is best known for Eragon, his popular fantasy novel about a young hero and the bond he forms with a beautiful blue dragon. The novel kick-started the internationally bestselling fantasy series the Inheritance Cycle, which became a global phenomenon, and concluded in 2011.

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is an exciting departure for Paolini. This new book is an adventure on an intergalactic scale, where incredible events have world-shattering consequences. But it’s also a story of human strength in the face of adversity, where we follow an incredible protagonist on her awe-inspiring journey.
