Nate didn’t need a savior, a guardian angel. Nathaniel has never known happiness or a life free from struggle. Stuck in an abusive relationship and damned to work minimum-wage jobs, he has no energy or motivation to make himself better. That is until he meets a mysterious stranger. Raziel, Archangel of Heaven, was wrongfully stripped of his grace and banished to life on Earth. Lost on his own and haunted by loneliness and the injustices inflicted on him, he meets Nathaniel. Struggling to navigate free will, he starts exploring the human world and falls in love—not just with the world but with the human guiding him through it as well. Will they save each other from their demons? Or will they drag each other deeper into Hell?

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 novel, HIGANBANA (Angelverse 1), 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.
