Stormweaver 1 & 2 - Paperbacks & Signed Hardcovers

We got the Edge Editions. We're rejecting them and making the printer redo them. Here's why.
14 days ago – Wed, Mar 18, 2026 at 01:39:18 PM

Hey all. Bryce here with an update I really never want to have to f*cking make.

As some of you guys know, we had some major issues with our printer when they produced our A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC EDITION. You can see that Update here if you're morbidly curious.

After that happened, the printer assured us that they would be classifying our projects for a higher tier of quality control. They told us again and again that they would make sure everything would go according to plan from here on out.

Everything did not go according to plan.

On receiving the Edge Editions, we realized that they were lacking headbands and tailbands. 

For a standard edition book, this isn't the biggest issue in the world. Lots of standard books don't have them, STORMWEAVER's included. However, 1) these were $60 special editions, 2) the printer had JUST promised us that everything would go okay, and 3) the proof copies they'd sent us for approval did include the headbands and tailbands, meaning they failed to provide product identical to the proofs.

For this reason... We are making them reprint everything.

Let me first acknowledge that this will indeed mean more weeks of delay. I'm so sorry. In my perfect world these Edge Editions would have been shipped out with the standard hardcovers and paperbacks a year ago. For the printer to fail not once, but twice (first a screwup with the cases that created the first delay, and now this) is frankly... insane, and I genuinely cannot express how f*cking angry I am at this secondary failure in a row.

In fact, I made the printer write up a written apology to you guys, which you can find here:

Now, while there will be delays, the printer is reprinting these as we speak. I'm getting the tip-ins for signing in the next week, and will have them out the door again within a week. Then they need to be placed, bound, and shipped, and we'll hopefully have them in the warehouse once again.

I am so, so sorry about this bullsh*t. I am genuinely so, so very angry. It's one thing to screw up once. It's another to screw up twice. It's unbelievable to screw up this many times in a row.

I cannot apologize enough, even on the printer's behalf, and we are making sure they keep this as their top priority for corrections until we have the actual correct books in hand. But I wasn't going to send this incorrect copies out to y'all given how much you paid for them.

Thank you for your patience. Now I'm off to go scream into a pillow for a couple of hours.

IMPORTANT FAQ:

• Are you going to continue working with this printer after all these issues?
  • Can't answer this question publicly. But in case I didn't say it enough above... I am NOT happy.
• I don't care about the missing headbands/tailbands. The books look good enough to me, and I want mine now. Can I get them?
  • If you are in the USA, yes (sorry non-US Backers, they printer reclaimed those copes to manually fix them since they were nearby). However, that means you won't be getting the corrected versions later. We can't pay for 8lbs worth of shipping twice, sadly.
    
    If you'd like these books instead of the corrected versions later, you can email us at [email protected] with the Subject "STORMWEAVER EDGE EDITIONS".
• What is the projected timeline for these delays?
  • We don't know yet, but we're hoping they're in our hands in the next 8-10 weeks, and we'd start shipping immediately. That would be record speed, but the printer has every incentive to move at record speed right now.

Addressing the new (potential) tariffs, and shouting out a cool RPG/progression fantasy campaign!

IN REGARDS TO THE POTENTIAL TARIFFS

Hey all, Bryce here. This is a quick one.

As with the last time we went through this situation in 2025, I wanted to let our buyers and Kickstarter Backers who are still awaiting their products know that Wraithmarked Creative will not be instituting any additional fees to cover potential tariff costs. 

At this time, it's unclear if there will be new global tariffs, much less what they'll be if they come into being. Regardless, in the event that they happen, please rest assured there will be no surprise fees put in place to cover those costs if you have already purchased a book from Wraithmarked Creative or are awaiting a product from one of our campaigns. We'll manage the additional cost one way or the other.

Here's to hoping these tariffs don't come to fruition, period.

All the best, and thank you, everyone, for your patience while we've navigated the complexities of publishing in 2025/26.

An Update to Fulfillment - Closing In!
about 2 months ago – Fri, Feb 06, 2026 at 09:23:45 AM

Hi there everyone!

We wanted to take a sec and inform you guys of a fulfillment update! We had a meeting with the printer earlier in the week and have been informed that the Edge Editions we've all been so patiently waiting for will be on a boat on the 11th! We're hoping with this shipping date, the books will be in our hands by the end of February! 

For US folks, that's approximately 3-4 weeks to travel across the ocean, clear customs, and be transported to our office. Non-US backers can expect those to go out a bit sooner, as they'll reach our shipping partner sooner. In both cases, they'll be inspected, then hand-numbered before shipping. Rest assured, we will be tearing into fulfillment ASAP in order to get them out before the end of March, hopefully sooner! It will be an all-hands-on-deck situation at Wraithmarked, for sure.

Thank you all once again for being here and staying by us these past couple years. We wouldn't be here without you, and we hope you're as excited as we are to FINALLY have these books in hand!

An Update to Fulfillment!

Hi everyone!

We hope your holiday season went well and you're enjoying yourself and/or your friends and family wherever you are! 2026 here we come! :D

We wanted to stop by real quick and let you all know that we've received an updated printing completion date for the Edge Editions! Please keep in mind this is still an estimate, and with everything that has gone on this past year, please take this estimate with a grain of salt.

Currently, this reprint is scheduled to be completed at the end of January. Meaning, if everything goes as planned and there are no more hiccups (knock on wood), these would leave the printing facility and be on boats between then and the first two weeks in February! Given how hard our printer has worked getting caught up on and delivering The Demon Awakens, The Lawful Times, The Rage of Dragons, and others, we have high hopes that they'll get these out as expected.

From there, we'll wait for these Edge Editions to arrive. For US folks, that's approximately 3-5 weeks to travel across the ocean, clear customs, and be transported to our office. Non-US backers can expect those to go out a bit sooner, as they'll reach our shipping partner sooner. In both cases, they'll be inspected, then hand-numbered before shipping.

Thank you all so much for stickin' with us these past couple years. We're one step closer to getting these in-hand and out the door to you all. We are so incredibly grateful for the support and patience! <3

Also...

For those of you who are fans of Bryce and Luke's other series, The Shattered Reigns, the second book in the series is finally getting a deluxe edition to match A Mark of Kings, our first ever project! If you have the first book and want to continue the series, sign up to be notified when the campaign goes live!

A Special THANK YOU! And... Campaign Check In!

Hi there folks!

Firstly, apologies for the copy/paste nature to this part of the update as we have lots of campaigns to touch on! We just wanted to update everyone and say...

THANK YOU  FOR COMING BY OUR BOOTH AND SAYING HELLO. <3

Dragonsteel Nexus was a wonderful experience for all of us - this was our first time vending at this convention and we had no idea what to expect. I think I speak for the whole Wraithmarked crew when I say we were all blown away by the support and love y'all shared with us. We had so many of you come by, tell us where you heard of us from, what campaigns you backed, what you were looking forward to, and lots of folks who had no idea we were gonna be there! We saw some new faces (hello if you late pledged to this campaign!) and chatted with any and everyone. The whole trip was a blast!

Thank you again for making our first Dragonsteel Nexus the best convention we've ever been to!

Now for a campaign check-in...

As per our last update, the cases are being printed! With the holiday season, production is slower than we'd like, but progress is being made. You can find more detail regarding that update here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wraithmarked/stormweaver1and2/posts/4540615

And... even though we just sent a check-in update a couple months ago, it can't hurt to send another. It's never a bad idea to hop in to make sure your shipping information is up-to-date! Using the following link, enter the email address that's attached to your Kickstarter account and you should be able to pull your pledge right up!

If you have questions at any point in this process, check out the campaign FAQs and if you need additional help, please send an email to [email protected]. Even though it is rare, it may take us up to 3-5 business days to respond and we do not work on holidays or weekends. Please also be aware that as we enter into the holiday season, many of us will be out of the office. We will address tickets in the order they were received, so please have some extra patience with us during this time! Thank you! <3
