Vanguard Elite is a spinoff of Annie Nicholas’s Vanguards series, following a new squad of werewolves who are less polished than their predecessors. The series opens with Bootcamp of Misfit Wolves, which sets the tone: these are not the alpha wolves of the original series, and their road to becoming effective fighters is bumpy and often funny.
Published between 2015 and 2017, the six-book series mixes action with romance as the squad members find their footing and their partners. The worldbuilding carries over from the Vanguards, so readers of the original series will recognize the setting, but the new characters and their underdog dynamic give these books their own identity.
