Rebel Moon: House of the Bloodaxe takes place five years before the events of Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire and should provide fans eager to learn more about this world ample opportunity to do just that. “I’m excited to collaborate with Mags to explore the rich and complex backstory of the Bloodaxe siblings,” said Zack Snyder. “In Rebel Moon: House of the Bloodaxe, fans will get to discover their motivation, as well as the genesis of the rebellion.”

Mags Visaggio describes the book as a “Shakespearean tragedy…It’s all extremely personal, a family in conflict with its patriarch who is in conflict with himself at a moment when they need to be united. It’s a story about failure and the consequences of failure.”
