Christopher Paolini to be at San Diego Comic-Con

Posted by tfgeekgirl on

For those of you attending the San Diego International Comic-Con next week, you may be interested to know that Christopher Paolini will be there on Friday as one of the panelists for the Epic Fantasy War panel to be held on Friday afternoon.

Friday, July 13

3:30-4:30 Epic Fantasy War— We’ve all seen the signs: war is coming; and this winter, hobbits will learn that one should never laugh at live dragons. The top names in fantasy fiction discuss how the key to writing a real epic fantasy novel lies in the word epic-which doesn’t just mean ambitious in scale, scope, and size. Epic fantasy helps us decipher the bigger mysteries of life. Even though there might be dragons (and magicians, horselords, and warlords), every word, and every detail of the world, must resonate on a fully human plane. Legendary editor Betsy Mitchell gets epic with panelists Brandon Sanderson (Alloy of Law), Raymond E. Feist (A Crown Imperiled), Robin Hobb (City of Dragons), N.K. Jemisin (The Inheritance Trilogy), Christopher Paolini (The Inheritance cycle), Rachel Hartman (Seraphina), Patrick Rothfuss (KingKiller Chronicles), Heather Brewer (The Legacy of Tril), and Lynn Flewelling (Casket of Souls). Room 6A

Christopher will also be in signing autographs 5:00-6:00pm with the rest of the panelists under the Sails Pavilion,  so check it out if you have a chance!

Pre-Inheritance Cycle Fan Graphics

Posted by fandomnet on

The main characters from The Inheritance Cycle get lots of attention, but you don’t see many other characters depicted in fan art. That’s why we love these graphics by Back Forth and In Between, showcasing the older generation in the series as young adults!

Claire Foy Selena Inheritance Cycle

Claire Foy as Young Selena, aka “The Black Hand”

It was that woman of his who inspired most terror in people. Utterly ruthless, devoid of either pity or compassion… she was always somewhat of an enigma.

Then as power rushed through his veins, he anointed himself king over all Alagaesia. And from that day, he has ruled us.
