C. M. Carney

C. M. Carney is an author of epic and dark fantasy, known for The Realms series, which follows characters through a war-torn multiverse in novels including Barrow King, Killing Time, Chaos Rising, and Doom Vault. He also writes The Quintessence: Crucible, a companion series expanding the same fantasy multiverse through additional storylines such as Awakened and The Forsaken God. Carney's fiction is built around large ensemble casts and interconnected story arcs across multiple realms and timelines, collected in omnibus volumes for readers following the series' many threads. Both series unfold within the same interconnected multiverse, letting readers follow either sequence independently while recurring characters and events tie the wider story together across books, and Carney has continued to expand both with additional volumes and omnibus collections.
