WE COULD END THIS WAR BEFORE IT BEGINS!

Book 5 of The Realms continues the epic LitRPG saga that started with Barrow King.

Gryph thought freeing his sister Brynn from the shackles of the High God would be the end of his mission.

Only to learn it was just the beginning.

Tasked with building an army for the Resistance, Gryph quickly realizes it will never be enough to curb the High God’s despotic quest to control the Realms.

Victory seems hopeless.

But then a long-buried secret resurfaces, and a desperate plan is hatched.

The survival of the Realms is in Gryph’s hands. If he fails, billions of souls will suffer a fate worse than death.

Can Gryph uncover the mysteries of his past in time to save the Realms, or will his actions hand victory to the High God?

The Forsaken God is the #1 Bestselling sequel to the breakout LitRPG hit novels Barrow King and Scourge of Souls and is an overflowing cauldron unique character progression, great world building, and tons of humor and action. “This series has just jumped to the top of my best ever list.” – Brian Cornell on Amazon.

WARNING: Welcome to your new favorite genre.

LitRPG/GameLit books feature adventures in a fantasy setting or sci-fi world and combines the progression and gaming elements from tabletop roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons 5e and Pathfinder with epic RPG video games like The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim and MMO’s like World of Warcraft. It features leveling up, crunchy stats, a rpg character sheet and skill progression. If this is your first LitRPG or GameLit, then welcome to the dark side of awesome. The Realms will take you back to the days when D&D books were new, and The Elder Scrolls were a glint in the programmer’s eye.

Embrace the adventure, portal to a new world and prepare to lose sleep! You have been warned!

The Realms is a non harem LitRPG series that contains action violence, and some swears, but no sex and is appropriate for teens and adults.

The Forsaken God is also available in print and as a LitRPG audiobook narrated by Armen Taylor.

Perfect for fans of The Completionist Chronicles, Emerelia and Ascend Online.

Review

★★★★★ "BEST EVER!" "OMG. Just finished this book. I have only just discovered the world of LITRPG and it has opened a whole new world for me. I have read a lot of books in my 51 years and I can safely say that this series has just jumped to the top of my best ever list. Can't wait for the next installment but don't want the series to end. Well done CM Carney you are a genius." - Brian Cornell
★★★★★ "WOW. JUST. WOW... " "Omg. The story was amazing. Surprises abound throughout this story for both Gryph and Aluran. Others as well. The twists in the story are great and perfectly timed. This is to date the best book in the series in my opinion. Keep it going Chris you are an excellent writer and i can't wait until we get to the next book." - George Smochko
★★★★★ "A great continuation of the series. One of the best GameLit fantasy series out there. Always look forward to another book from C.M. Carney. This one did not disappoint!" - A Customer.
★★★★★ "This book was amazing. I just can't wait for the next one. This one keeps you on the edge of you seat and then throws you off a cliff, leaving you begging for more!!" - Mullet40
★★★★★ "Lex and Gryph are back and in rare form. new runeforms and creepy bad guys galore as our duo is threatened by the high God himself. The pacing is excellent. never a dull moment. The way vonn always owns lex is still funny. New locations and new problems and maybe an old friend or two are waiting for you to find them. Plus Errat will be happy to see you." - Dar Kreader

My journey to becoming the Bestselling author of ‘dorky books’ - as my sister is fond of calling them - began in the dark ages long before the internet was a thing with the original Dungeons and Dragons boxed set.

My mother bought that shiny red box for me after reading an ‘editorial’ in the local paper claiming that role playing games drove kids to worship dark forces in the sewers. I was ten, and it's probably a good thing there were no sewers on my street, otherwise, I would have delved down with my hand-crafted wooden sword and my trash can shield, ready to smite evildoers of all stripes, likely to never be heard from again.

Thankfully, my forays into the underworld never materialized, and I faced neither dragon nor goblin nor gelatinous cube. Instead, I turned my eye and my quill to writing fantastical tales.

Today, thanks to my two Bestselling LitRPG series, The Quintessence, which incorporates cultivation elements and measured progression, and The Realms, which burst onto the LitRPG scene with Barrow King in February 2018, I get to put the profession author on my tax return.

In addition to my two current series, I am in the early stages of plotting a third LitRPG series, Saga of the Maker which will appear on Kindle Vella, as well as the GameLit, sci-fi comedy romp Salinger Jones, which will continue my love of inventive world-building, fast-paced action, deep characters, and oddball humor.

I love chatting with readers and RPG fans alike, so stop by and say hi at my Facebook page www.facebook.com/cmcarneywrites or head over to www.cmcarneywrites.com and you can grab a FREE novella set in The Realms.

Another great addition to The Realms series. Gryph with his friends and companions do what they must to fight the increasing number of foes. They must build the Resistance, protect the innocent all while trying to stop a mad man turn high god over the Realms. A mad man that will stop at nothing to bend the Realms to his desires. A clue is found within some ancient tomes leading them to hunt for the Forsaken god. A god that everyone knows is dead. With Gryph's luck, Lex's wisecracks, and everyone else's hard work they might just have a chance to find a god long dead.

I got this the Barrow King randomly one day because it was free. I really am not much of a reader and tend to stick to audio books. This book, this series, has reinvigorated my love of reading. So much so that I power read through the whole series without leaving reviews...sorry.

If you’re interested in fantasy, or litRPG, then do yourself a favor and give the Barrow King a try! You’ll soon pick up this book as well!!

Felt like the story advanced a good amount in this one. We got a lot more glimpses of the world and the history. I'd did almost feel like two separate stories though, I feel like the first half was a setup for the next book, then we detoured back to the main story arc and I almost thought for a bit it would wrap up. I'm very perplexed on where the next book will go with all that happened at the end of this one!

The twist and turns in this book were amazing. The book kept me engaged the entire time. The characters development was fairly straightforward but I am looking forward to Lex and Gryphs new connection to come into play. Great book!

3.0 out of 5 stars It's a good read.
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2020

I guess my only issue is that it's like a pretty blatant ripoff of "The Land" by Aleron Kong. So much of the plot and characters and interaction feels like it was directly pulled from that.
That being said I dont know which series came first, but I am moving on to the next book. So far The Land has been much more entertaining. But again, this is a fun read.

A good quick read. We find out about Lex and his origins and the twisted motivations of the High God. Also lots of action of the hack and slash variety combined with enough magic slinging to keep any D&D adventure reader happy. Some new monsters and a reveal about the chaos creatures. The Realms are in for interesting times.
