Killing Time
What the Hell Happened to Lex?
All Lex wanted was to help his good buddy Gryph find his sister and maybe save the world along the way. But everything goes wrong from the start when Lex gets separated from Gryph during their transfer into the Realms. Lost, alone, and forced to live the same day over and over, Lex must defeat the agent of a despotic god, uncover hidden truths about himself, and find his way back to his friend. If he fails the Realms face destruction.
Killing Time is a side quest novel that bridges the gap between The Realms Book One: Barrow King and the The Realms Book Two: The Lost City. It is a tale of adventure, mayhem, and loyalty, filled with crazy action, way too much stupidity and tons of laughs.

C.M. Carney
C.M. Carney’s fascination with fantasy and adventure began at the tender age of ten, sparked by an editorial that linked Dungeons & Dragons to dark forces lurking beneath the surface. Unfazed by such warnings, Carney’s mother bought him the game, and the seeds for a lifelong passion were planted. He was soon hooked on exploring realms of imagination, where myth and magic took center stage and where stories could shape the very world around him.
Before embracing the world of full-time writing, Carney spent nearly two decades as a creative executive working in the animation and special effects industry, gaining invaluable experience in bringing fantastical visions to life. But after years of helping others tell their stories, he decided it was time to bring his own to the page. With his background in visual storytelling, he brought a cinematic quality to his writing, immersing readers in worlds that felt both vast and intimate.
The Realms
In The Realms, the lines between myth and reality blur, pulling readers into a world where ancient legends meet modern adventures. The series unfolds in a universe where players navigate both the grandeur of epic quests and the gritty, personal stakes of characters who must grow and adapt within a gamified landscape. From the very first pages, it’s clear that The Realms is not just a place—it’s a journey, one where every choice is consequential, and every step taken builds toward something far greater than the characters ever imagined.
The Realms consists of eight primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
