=== Original draftDraft and hiatusHiatus ===

Brandon continued to occasionally mention the book at signings{{wob ref|2640}} and in his annual [[State of the Sanderson]] blog posts.{{wob ref|9163}} After looking at it again as a potential reading for the ''[[Firefight]]'' tour in 2015, Brandon decided that it didn't work, and simply considered it as practice in the urban fantasy genre.{{wob ref|date=2015-01-05|7091|''Firefight'' release party}} Although the story did see some minor development later that year,{{wob ref|9163}} it was put on hiatus and stayed there for several years.{{sots ref|name=sots162016}}{{sots ref|name=sots172017}} The book was never officially trunked, but it took a back seat to other commitments including ''[[The Rithmatist]]'' and ''[[Alcatraz]]''.{{wob ref|8166}}
