The first four books were originally published by [[Scholastic]], one a year between 2007 and 2010. 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. The fifth book, ''[[The Dark Talent]]'', was then published in September 2016.{{ref|name=a6-reveal}}
