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.
Bryce O'Connor, CEO
Scheduling final edits!! And... SO MANY DRAGONS FOR THE BOX SET! And... a Wraithmarked Update!

Hey guys! Bryce here with two fun updates for you!
FIRST... WE'RE SCHEDULING FINAL EDITS FOR THE TEXT!
With Christopher's new content done for this project, we are scheduling final edits for the project with the hopes of having that done in the next couple of months! Once that's wrapped, we'll be able to finally move to the design phase! That's going to take a bit more time than most projects because we want to make sure we get all your names correct, but once that's done we're getting printer quotes! So this is moving RIGHT along! WOOOOH!
In case you missed the last update, please check it out HERE. Currently, we have 1 person actively responding to tickets for this campaign, and on a project of ~8,000 people, responding to the massive influx we received right before the deadline is taking a bit longer than anticipated.
SECOND... NEW TIP IN ILLUSTRATIONS FOR THE BOX SET!
Once more, this won't come as a surprise to any of you how have been following our leaks, but a couple weeks ago we showed of the last of the 4 illustrations Divebound Studio has done for our upcoming, full-color, illustrated Special Edition Box Set of the THE INHERITANCE CYCLE!
The books will initially come with the Saphira illustration we had done for our Certificate of Authenticity (last image) as the illustration for all the tip-ins, but if we crack the necessary stretch goals, we'll be including these customs for ELDEST, BRISINGR, and INHERITANCE.
And yes, we ARE aware that Glaedr, Thorn, Shruikan, Firnen, AND Saphira make 5 illustrations for 4 books. We wanted all 5 in case we ever needed them! Plus there's no way we could skip on one of these bad boys!
Typically, we like to show you guys behind the scenes goings on when it comes to book production such as quote requests, a look at the interior art and merch goodies offered during the campaign, maybe even an author signing - that kind of stuff! However, when we can, we also like to let you folks know that we are still a small, independent company with a handful of dedicated employees wanting to make waves in the publishing world. We've come a long way from when we ran our very first campaign, which brings us to today...
We are officially moving into our first warehouse! No more garages or storage units! WOOHOO!
This may not be the most exciting news for some, but for us, it was a looong time coming. We are so excited to begin this new journey in a new location, and we've already started moving our things over! We now have a loading dock! (Like I said, very exciting for us)
That being said, during this process, our support and responses will be a little longer than normal as it's all-hands-on-deck for the move. We're anticipating things to return to normal later next week, but keep in mind, we may have a slight backlog to get through. 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].
See you in the next one!
Bryce here... TODAY IS YOUR LAST DAY TO GET YOUR NAMES INTO THE BOOK!
about 2 months ago
– Thu, Jan 15, 2026 at 04:44:42 AM
Hi all, Bryce here. I know we said this yesterday, but WE NEED EVERYONE TO BE AWARE! At this point we have sent 5+ reminders over the last several months about names, and there are now less than 24hrs left to get those names in the book.
Missing the name submission deadline (11:59PM EST TONIGHT, JANUARY 15TH) may result in your name NOT being included. We will post several check-in updates to remind folks, but we cannot complete your survey for you!
If you need instructions on how to make sure your CORRECT name is in the book, help getting your survey, checking the name(s) you submitted, etc., you can find the instructions on any of these previous Updates (linked below):
TO BE CLEAR, IF YOU DO NOT GET YOUR CORRECT NAME/SURVEY COMPLETED TO US VIA THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ABOVE UPDATES BY 11:59PM EST TONIGHT, JANUARY 15TH, WE WILL LIKELY NOT BE ABLE TO GET YOUR NAME (OR ANY NAMES YOU HAVE PURCHASED SLOTS FOR) IN THE BOOK. IF YOU HAVE SUBMITTED A TICKET TO US REGARDING THIS ISSUE, WE WILL GET TO YOU, BUT IT WILL BE AFTER THE DEADLINE (the influx of tickets on a campaign of 8,000+ backers is not something we can handle in a week).
I'm sorry if this comes off as rude or excessive (especially to those who have had their names in for months), but we really, REALLY want everyone to get their names in so that no one is left disappointed. We will not be able to refund people because they didn't fill out that critical part of the survey because we've already budgeted for the print run, so the less people with issues after the fact, the better.
Please, PLEASE get your names in.
Cheers,
Bryce
LAST REMINDER! Surveys Closing THURSDAY - Get Your Names In While You Can! Also... LOOK AT THESE BOX SET COVERS!

Hi there everyone!
First off, a quick note - PLEASE READ!
If you have sent/send a support ticket or a comment/DM to us here on Kickstarter regarding your survey before the 11:59pm EST deadline this Thursday, we WILL get back to you! We have one person working support at this time and since posting updates and sending reminders via Backerkit, the influx of tickets surrounding this campaign has been a bit... unmanageable. >.< We will get back to you, but at this time, it will take longer than the anticipated 3-5 business days! As long as you submit a ticket/comment/DM/etc. before the deadline, we will help you with your survey!
That being said, if you haven't submitted a ticket to Wraithmarked support yet but want to check the name on your survey, you may locate your completed survey and pledge question answers via the survey confirmation email sent from Backerkit! Search your email (and maybe trash/spam folder in case) for an email from [email protected], or, just "Backerkit".
Now... to the copy/paste portion of the update!
Once again, we'll be taking a moment to remind everyone how you can access your pledge. Since surveys for this campaign (and new name orders) will be closing THIS THURSDAY, January 15th, it is imperative that you complete this process! 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 not filled out your survey yet, we urge you to take a look at our previous update here:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wraithmarked/bookofremembrance/posts/4502538
This update has a lot of FAQs we've gotten since opening surveys to backers, so please take a moment to check it out! If, for whatever reason you do not want to click that link, please be aware of the following:
What is a survey?
A survey is a form sent via email to all backers for the purpose of collecting necessary information in order for that pledge to be fulfilled. Sometimes it's just an address - we need to know where to send your goodies! In other instances, such as THE BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE, it is much more than an address.
Due to the nature of this campaign, we need folks to input names (if applicable), and we need those names sooner than later because the names—YOUR names—are the backbone of this book. We need to collect surveys and names BY 11:59PM EST ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 15TH AT THE ABSOLUTE LATEST.
TL;DR, Missing the name submission deadline (11:59PM EST ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 15TH) may result in your name NOT being included. We will post several check-in updates to remind folks, but we cannot complete your survey for you!
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. Thank you! <3
This won't come as a surprise to any of you how have been following our leaks, but in December we showed of the last of the 4 covers the amazing Dominik Mayer has done for our upcoming, full-color, illustrated Special Edition Box Set of the THE INHERITANCE CYCLE! Check these out!
There is a LOT more art already revealed and coming from here until launch, so make sure to follow the campaign by hitting "Notify me on launch" on the pre-launch page!
This will be a collection of the books unlike anything ever seen so far!
(And just a reminder that this campaign will NOT launch until after Saphira is on her way to your doors!)
Cheers all!
Bryce
PS: Oh and... Did we tell you all these covers form a panaroma to give you guys additional display options? ;) Check THIS out!
