Gravesong is the first book in The Singer of Terandria series. A spin-off of The Wandering Inn series, it tells the story of Cara O'Sullivan, a young woman from Ireland who was suddenly teleported to a world with classes, levels, and Skills.

History

Gravesong was first announced to the public on January 1, 2022 by pirateaba, as a new, fully-written book. The initial draft had at least 150,000 words and was written in secret alongside the regular Wandering Inn releases. It was planned to be edited throughout the beginning of 2022 and intended to be released as an e-book, a physical book, and an audiobook for all readers in the summer of 2022.

In the middle of October 2022, news articles from Yahoo Finance, Variety, and Business Wire reported that Gravesong would be released in a new serialized story platform by Wattpad-WEBTOON owner Naver. This received notable backlash from the community due to the new platform's perceived "predatory practices" and microtransaction nature. It is believed that this is when moderators on Reddit and Discord first began removing links to sites that contain illegal copies of the advanced Patreon version and banning users involved.

In a Reddit post by pirateaba, it was explained that the draft was taken to big publishing houses like Tor Books; however, none were interested, and the decision was made to publish the story on YONDER instead. The post also confirmed that there would be an audiobook release by Podium, but the team is still waiting on legal permission to use one of the most important songs.

On December 1, 2022, the first chapter of Gravesong was released on YONDER, with the first 12 chapters being free to read. PirateabaAssistant#9538 has clarified in a discord post that the YONDER version of the novel is "slightly smaller" than the Patreon-only advance copy due to being edited down to fit onto the platform but without any significant changes.
