Scholastic would only agree to publish the first four books, not wishing to publish a fifth book with the Big Reveal which would then lead to a concluding ''sixth'' book written by Alcatraz's bodyguard. Brandon bought back the rights to the series and sold them to [[Tor]], who agreed to publish all six books. The first four books were republished with new art during the first half of 2016.
