AK is a queer indie author from London, UK. They're most well-known for Inheritance, an award-winning urban fantasy epic with its roots in British folklore and Arthurian legend.

Praise for Jack of Thorns (Inheritance book 1):
“It feels intensely natural in that way the best urban fantasy does, with Faulkner gleefully unafraid of [the] leads showing their asses, sometimes literally. Laurence is completely aware he's a mess but isn't as much of one as he thinks. Quentin is convinced he's fine and is in fact held together with a good suit and a lot of denial. [...] Faulkner builds the book out into its supernatural elements with the barely contained glee of a mousetrap architect who just got their hands on a 3D printer."
- Alasdair Stuart: Writer, Voice Actor, & Podcaster

“Effortlessly handling weighty issues of addiction, class, and sexuality, Faulkner keeps [their] heady mythology grounded in reality and lays a promising foundation for future installments. Readers will be eager for the next in the series."
- Publishers Weekly Starred Review

“As potent and enchanting as a flower, Jack of Thorns is a seductive novel that weaves together elements of romance, pagan spirituality, family trauma, and magic."
- Foreword Reviews

“AK Faulkner thrusts together two deliciously flawed main characters (a former heroin addict and a mysterious member of British nobility), then weaves an empowering plot of destiny, inheritance, and self-improvement—all while letting the reader languor in the glow of a glorious slow burn romance."
- IndieReader Approved

“Faulkner’s lustrous passages turn basic scenery into beautiful imagery."
- Kirkus Reviews
