Project Update: Emberdark Fulfillment Update and a Video from Brandon

This update will include information about the Isles of the Emberdark audiobook, instructions on how to verify or update your mailing address, and an announcement of our campaign support deadline. And—as an extra treat—a video from Brandon talking about Isles of the Emberdark and… a Disney princess?


Fulfillment Progress Overview

Fulfillment of the New Secret Project, Isles of the Emberdark, continues! We are currently at *bing* 51%! You can track fulfillment progress on Brandon’s site. Please do not submit a ticket asking when your pledge will ship until the tracker hits 100%. (This percentage will not include store pre-orders, which will be handled separately.)

We anticipate having all rewards sent to backers by the end of August.


Audiobook Reminders

The expiration date for all Isles of the Emberdark Audible codes is October 10, 2025 at 11:59PM EST (03:59AM UTC). Beginning October 11, 2025, these codes will no longer be redeemable and no new codes can be issued to replace unused ones.

All codes have been successfully delivered. You can find the code on the digital rewards page of your pledge.

Note: The Isles of the Emberdark audiobook was not automatically included in all tiers of the campaign. The $50 and $325 tier do NOT include the audiobook.


Address Updates

Verify that your address on file is accurate in your Backer Survey—this is not your BackerKit account’s associated address, but the address specifically tied to this campaign.

If you need to update your address, please contact our Dragonsteel support team as soon as possible.

Please be aware that:

  • Once you receive your shipping notification email, it is too late to update your shipping address on the existing shipment.
  • If your package returns to us as a result of an incorrect address, you will be responsible for paying the reshipment fee to your new address.


Campaign Support Deadline

All support related to the Words of Radiance Leatherbound Campaign (including questions surrounding Isles of the Emberdark fulfillment) will end on October 17, 2025.

This means that we will not be able to assist with any damaged, missing, lost, or other requests after October 17.


The Tale of Brandon and Moana

Brandon has openly discussed the influences behind many of his books. In this short video, he dives into some of the inspiration for the particular styling of Isles of the Emberdark. Give the video a watch to learn more about how the Sander-stories you know and love are born.

See you in our next update!

Team Dragonsteel, you have knocked it out of the park with this gorgeous book. I have all the other Secret Project kickstarter editions and Emberdark is the most beautiful of them all.

I've been keeping an eye on the community comments while monitoring progress. I'm usually a pretty negative person, but after reading some of these comments over the last..wow.. year, I just want to say thank you to the Dragonsteel team. You've put up with, and handled, so many repeat (and often dumb) questions, rude and/or ignorant folk, and many order info changes and requests. For myself, initially, I could only afford the Secret Project Box. Luckily, I got in a position where I could get my favorite Stormlight Book. DS was able to get the 2nd tier added to my order after the campaign had technically ended. Thanks. I'll admit I wasn't happy with the speed of orders being fulfilled, but I understood that it's a small team, not an Amazon facility, packing these 1000s of orders. So, I did my best to be patient. Finally, Isles has shipped and should be here within a few days. This has finally come to an end (for me). This is the first backing I've ever done whether it's Backerkit, Kickstarter, GoFundMe, etc etc. Not the most ideal experience, but I'd do it again with another project from Brandon Sanderson and his team.

Will the audible audiobook include a pdf of the book's pictures etc, for Isles of the Emberdark? As others have included in the past?
