After over two decades of anticipation, the wait is finally over. Orson Scott Card's Master Alvin, the long-promised seventh and final volume in the Tales of Alvin Maker series, now has an official release date: April 28, 2026. This exciting news has been confirmed by Tor Books, and full book details are now available.
Since the publication of The Crystal City in 2003, fans have been eagerly awaiting the conclusion to Alvin Miller’s journey. The upcoming novel promises to bring closure to the series, following Alvin as he ventures across the river to reunite with the Red Prophet, journeys westward and across the Atlantic, and faces persecution alongside others with magical "knacks." As Alvin continues to shape the world around him, he must make profound decisions—not only about how to use his powers, but whether he should use them at all. The fate of the Crystal City, and the hearts of those who live within it, hang in the balance.
Master Alvin will be published in hardcover (448 pages) and digital audio formats, with a listed price of $30.99. Pre-orders are now available through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop, Books-A-Million, and more. The listing can also be found on Macmillan’s official site, where readers can find additional publishing information.
This release marks the long-awaited conclusion to one of the most unique and enduring alternate history fantasy series in modern speculative fiction. Readers are encouraged to revisit the previous six novels in the lead-up to the release and prepare for the epic final chapter of Alvin’s journey.
