The Kickstarter for this edition was announced in November 2025. It is part of a 4-book box set of the Inheritance Cycle. This is Wraithmarked’s second WOE book based Kickstarter, the first being the TBR. The estimated release date is Q2 2026.
THE SPECS (All 4 books)
So doubling as a TLDR, here are some specs for you for this Book 1-4 box set:
Smyth-sewn
acid-free paper
gilded page edges
custom 4-book slip case
4 custom full-color jacket covers by Dominik Mayer
Jacket front will feature foiling and embossing, and possibly additional gloss elements depending on final design!
Jackets back will have the full-wrap art, making it reversible if you want to display just the illustrations (this will be useful for reasons those of you who watch the whole video I've linked above will understand 😉)
4 custom full-color case covers for the naked hardcovers by Axel Sauerwald
3+ custom greyscale end sheets accented with gold foil by Dominik Mayer
3 more to be unlocked via Stretch Goals
full-color printing (not just the art, though additional color will mostly be on the chapter headers)
for those curious paper stock will be a healthy 90gsm if we unlock all Stretch Goals (these will be early, so we hope to!)
20 full-color illustrations by Axel Sauerwald
4 single-page per book
1 double-page per book
1 full-color map with custom foil gilding per book
we are going to be reusing the Book of Remembrance map here, but there will be a fun special element to each book's map (hint: gold foiling) that will make them unique and special.
3 new custom dragon illustrations by Divebound for the tip-ins if we unlock the Stretch Goal
the tip-ins will initially only feature the Saphira illustration we did as a bonus for the Saphira collectable figurine, but each book will have a different dragon if we unlock the Stretch Goals!
