Each book released in The Stormlight Archive has become a bigger and bigger sensation. It goes beyond the New York Times Bestseller list and approaches Harry Potter territory. Rhythm of War, the latest volume in the epic fantasy series by Brandon Sanderson, was no exception even in the midst of a global pandemic.
With the cover reveal on TOR.com in August 2020, fan anticipation built to a fever pitch as theories spun around every detail of art. That frenzy of excitement among readers would carry right through the virtual book release in November.

Reception for this new line products has been fantastic, and we’re pleased to announce the addition of 4 new images: THE DARK TOWER, EMPIRE OF GRASS, MORETA, and PEEKABOO FUZZIES.
We’ll have more images coming soon including WEYRWORLD and STORMBRINGER. Based on fan suggestions, we’re also looking at adding products like tapestries and jigsaw puzzles.

Thank you for the overwhelming support this year.
We knew 2020 would be busy, kicking off with two new covers including Stormlight art, our largest growing fandom. Even treading cautiously through uncertain times, this year has continued to surprise us.
We have been printing and shipping orders since mid-November. We appreciate everyone’s patience through the release of 3 new prints. While we’ve had a few unexpected pauses due to supply chain disruption of paper and ink, we are currently working through the last remaining orders before 12-16″ of snow arrives in Connecticut tomorrow.

We’re pleased to announce officially licensed gaming accessories featuring art by Michael Whelan.
Whether you’re a tabletop or digital gamer, we’ve got you covered with a new line from Inked Gaming. Available products include playmats (up to 48″ x 48″), dice bags, gaming crates, mousepads, and tote bags.

Michael Whelan had the opportunity to sit down for a remote video interview with both Brandon Sanderson and Isaac Stewart to talk about RHYTHM OF WAR. Michael offered a sneak peak of some preliminary art created for the new cover. While this was filmed for the virtual book release, it’s available now for everyone to watch on Brandon’s YouTube channel.
And if you haven’t made it to the end of the conversation yet, Brandon wanted to let you know that prints of the cover art are now available in our shop!

We’ve seen a steady flow of questions regarding Michael’s latest cover illustrations so I thought I’d provide an update for the upcoming holiday season.
We were intending to offer prints of both FAHRENHEIT 451 and long time fan-favorite DESCENT (cover for The Martian Chronicles) for Ray Bradbury’s centennial in August, but this year has been challenging in so many ways. We will finally release these prints during the holidays (likely with our Cyber Monday email right after Thanksgiving).
We will be offering prints of RHYTHM OF WAR with the same size options as the others in the Stormlight series (18×24 and 24×36). The timing will coincide with the release of the book so expect the prints to drop as the book lays down on November 17.
