Jake Vanguard (they/them) is an indie author of queer dark fantasy, science fantasy, horror, and a slice of erotica. In their stories, they love exploring queerness and contradictions, love and connections, family and friendship.
The first two books of the Deity Chronicles trilogy – FIRST SNOW and FIRST ROSE – are available now, as well as the paranormal series Angelverse – HIGANBANA and KINTSUGI – with more to come.
REMNANTS OF RELICS is their first curated anthology, a product of love and community, about the struggles and joys one works with when losing or gaining a new part of themselves.

When not writing, they love gaming and cuddling their kitties.

I absolutely adore this whole series - not just the Hunters but all set in this world, how interconnected they are. There Will Be Blood is such a prime example of that. I truly cannot wait for the next book
