Brandon had always claimed that the Alcatraz series was to consist of five books, and that the original publisher, Scholastic, had only bought the first four. Since Scholastic would not contract the fifth book, Brandon bought back the rights in early 2013.{{bwssots ref|state-of-the-sanderson|State of the Sanderson|date=Jul 24th, 2013}} He later re-sold the series, including book 5, to Tor.{{wob ref|3115}}
 
In reality, there was always a sixth book planned. Tor was one of the publishers willing to promote the five-book series with the grand reveal at the end: that there would actually be a sixth book, written from another character's perspective. 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}}
