Set in the year 1152, the Black axe is a prequel to the previous two volumes of Mouse guard and tells of Celanawe's epic quest to take possession of the black axe.

Depicts the wildlife, mountains, glaciers, wildfowers, and other sights protected by the Waterton-Glacier Park, an international park created in 1932 by the Canadian and American governments.
