B.C. Palmer (bcpalmer) | 2 comments Magic's Heart: A Novel of Rismere is the default edition of this book, but I can't get it to show as the default edition. The other issue I've run into is that the series was retitled before publication, to "The Eidolon War" but that does not appear to be an element that can be changed manually. Is it possible to have it updated? No such series as "the gardstone trilogy" exists or officially existed in publication.

I have changed the Gardstone Trilogy to The Eidolon War.

Instead of changing the name of the series, we create a new series. Then we move up the new series to be the "default" series.

Thank you Emily, I have made those changes.

That series name appears on the cover of an older edition.

Only if the two series contain different books or have a different order. If the entire series has been renamed, we change the name on the series page, and add a note regarding the original series title to the (visible to everyone) description field of the series page. We would also leave the old series name on the title field of any editions published with the older name, but that does not appear to apply in this case.
