Pierce Brown’s Red Rising Prequel Graphic Novels Now in One Volume!

Brown crafted this prequel to the beloved Red Rising novels to expand the universe for his existing fans while creating an entry point for new readers in an exciting medium. Red Rising: Sons of Ares tells of a future where humanity has spread across the stars, and a person’s fate is dictated by the color of one’s caste. The Golds rule all – but what happens when one of these elites dares to love a lowly Red? A forbidden romance transforms the future, with alliances shifting against a backdrop of revolution, all leading to the formation of the formidable Sons of Ares and a reshaping of the world of the Rising that is to come!

When the series kicked off, Brown said, “It’s a dream come true to bring the world of Red Rising to comics, and a real pleasure Jedi mind-melding with Rik in the writing process.”

While Hoskin said, “Sons of Ares is a new story set within the brutal world of Pierce Brown’s Red Rising books. I’ve worked closely with Pierce to create something that’s true to those books, but also feels unique and new. Like the books, ours is a fast-moving story set right across the vast canvas of the freshly colonized solar system. We’re exploring the effects that the inflexible regime has on an individual who’s a key figure from the books, looking at the limits of humanity in a dehumanizing system. For me, that’s the key to the books — the very human characters striving against a system geared to beating them down. It’s harsh, cruel, unfair and — occasionally — uplifting.”

The 432-page omnibus is available in both hardcover and paperback editions, and collects Books One, Two, and Three of the acclaimed graphic novel series, along with character and environmental design, and a complete cover gallery! It also has a stunningly gorgeous cover by artist Toby Cypress.
