The next science fantasy novel from Jake Vanguard is coming!

OMEN is set in the cyberpunk city Neo Requiem, ruled by two High Fae courts. Nature and fresh produce has been long forsaken, corruption and neon having taken over. In this world, we follow the main character Tam - a High Fae who learns about the family that has forsaken them.

Undeservedly exiled from the Unseelie court, Tamneath Kaedan is living a commoner's life. Working in a strip club, the former princeling gets high every night, drowning their sorrows in drug-induced oblivion. After a regular night out, Tamneath gets kidnapped and ends up with a voice in their head. Not knowing what happened, they have to trust both their best friend Syra, acknowledging their emotions for her, as well as the strange new voice, which turns out to be a long-forgotten synthetic fae weapon construct. Together, they have to figure out who kidnapped Tam, unraveling political intrigue and family feuds, all while healing from past hurt.
