The Marvel Rebels & Renegades series gave MacKenzi Lee the chance to explore three popular Marvel characters through a YA lens. Loki: Where Mischief Lies (2019) digs into the trickster god’s youth and his complicated relationship with Asgard. Gamora & Nebula: Sisters in Arms (2021) focuses on the bond between two sisters raised by a tyrant. The Winter Soldier: Cold Front (2023) rounds out the trilogy with Bucky Barnes’s story.
Each book works as a standalone novel, and Lee brings the same attention to character and voice that marks her original fiction. These are not simple tie-in products. They treat the Marvel characters with real depth, giving them inner lives and emotional arcs that the films only had time to sketch. Readers who enjoy the MCU but want more time with these characters will find exactly that here.
