Betsy Wollheim, Rothfuss' editor and publisher, posted a note on Facebook that explained why The Doors of Stone, the trilogy's concluding volume, had never been released, saying she had "never seen a word of book three" and that she didn't think Rothfuss had written anything since 2014.

Rothfuss joined Grim Oak Press to create Underthing Press, a new imprint that would be released in December 2021.

Rothfuss wrote that if his charity hit a $333,333 fundraising target in December 2021, he would "[s]hare a complete chapter of Doors of Stone." As of October 2022, no chapter was published as the aim was reached "unbelievably quickly by readers hungry for more Kingkiller stuff."
