In mid-2002, the stepson of author Carl Hiaasen found "Eragon" in a bookstore and loved it; this led to Hiaasen bringing it to the attention of his publisher, Alfred A. Knopf. Knopf subsequently made an offer to publish "Eragon" and the rest of "The Inheritance Cycle". The second edition of "Eragon" was published by Knopf in August 2003. At the age of nineteen, Paolini became a "New York Times"-bestselling author.
