Brandon always planned for the Alcatraz series to consist of five books, however Scholastic, the original publisher, only bought the first four. For a variety of reasons, including Scholastic being unwilling to make a contract for the fifth book, Brandon bought back the rights in early 2013.{{bws ref|state-of-the-sanderson|State of the Sanderson|date=2013-07-24}} He later re-sold the series, including book 5, to Tor.{{cite}}▼
| Alcatraz Smedry has successfully defeated the army of Evil Librarians and saved the kingdom of Mokia. Too bad he managed to break the Smedry Talents in the process. Even worse, his father is trying to enact a scheme that could ruin the world, and his friend, Bastille, is in a coma. To revive her, Alcatraz must infiltrate the Highbrary–known as The Library of Congress to Hushlanders–the seat of Evil Librarian power. Without his Talent to draw upon, can Alcatraz figure out a way to save Bastille and defeat the Evil Librarians once and for all?

The idea was that Alcatraz would end his narrative with his failure, but the sixth book would confirm to the readers that he was indeed a hero.{{bws ref|alcatraz-the-big-reveal|Alcatraz: The Big Reveal|date=Oct 5th, 2016}}
