The cover of the hardback book Tales of Trenzalore that came out in 2014. Four stories that took place during the Doctor's 900 years on the planet Trenzalore, all of which took place during the eleventh Doctor's swansong story The Time of the Doctor (2013)

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

Tales of Trenzalore is an excellent book if anyone's interested. I read it at the time. Four stories, 224 pages with five classic series monsters.

The link given with the posting (https://cybusindustries.org/) leads to 'Cybus Industries', but all it gives is a countdown clock (presumably ticking down until Sunday at 7:30pm)
