‘Fourth Wing’ Publisher Quells ‘Onyx Storm’ Misprint Fears Following ‘Iron Flame’ Errors: ‘We Took Extra Care to Learn From Our Experiences’

by

Entangled Publishing, the publisher behind Rebecca Yarros’ popular romantic fantasy novel “Fourth Wing,” has assured readers that they have rectified the typographical errors that occurred in the sequel “Iron Flame” prior to the release date of Yarros’ upcoming book.

Titled “Onyx Storm,” the third installment in Yarros’ “Empyrean” series, will be available on shelves starting Tuesday, boasting a massive first print run of 2 million copies for its deluxe edition. Additionally, over one million pre-orders have been registered across various formats including print, digital, and audiobooks.

Enthusiasm for the upcoming book launch is running high (boosted by the ongoing development of “Fourth Wing” on Amazon’s TV lineup), but fans are also apprehensive due to concerns that the quality issues that marred the release of “Iron Flame” could recur in “Onyx Storm.” In November 2023, during the launch of the sequel for “Fourth Wing,” customers reported receiving copies of “Iron Flame” with damaged edges, bleeding ink, typos, missing pages, and even upside-down pages and endpapers. Entangled responded by offering refunds and rectifying the problem at that time, assuring fans they have learned from this experience before releasing “Onyx Storm.

Stacy Abrams, Vice President of Operations at Entangled Publishing, expresses immense pride in the exquisite deluxe editions of ‘Onyx Storm.’ She credits their Art and Design team for being outstanding in their field, going above and beyond. To make these books as perfect as they were envisioned, they’ve paid close attention to lessons learned and reader feedback. To bring this vision to life, Entangled Publishing has strengthened ties with its printing partners, secured necessary equipment, and even made the additional investment for high-quality digital printing on the book edges. The result is a crisp, stunning look that mass production can offer. Furthermore, they’ve collaborated closely with their distributor and retail partners to ensure they’re well-prepared to handle over two million copies.

According to Entangled, “The luxury version boasts stunningly spray-painted edges adorned with dragon stencils, similar to the dragon-stenciled edges on the initial release of ‘Fourth Wing’, which quickly sold out and are fondly remembered by fans who value these editions as valuable collectibles.

Bree Archer, our creative mind behind the scenes, stated that our primary objective is to ensure readers are delighted. We strive for the exterior presentation to be equally captivating as the mesmerizing tale it encloses.

To accommodate for potential mistakes in printing, Entangled has intentionally set aside a modest excess print, aiming to facilitate as many customer exchange requests as necessary if a customer is not fully content with the quality of the printed book.
