Hi, I'm Johnathan Pike.I write the kind of massive, sprawling epic fantasies that I love to read—stories where the stakes are world-altering, the characters are morally complex, and power is paid for in blood and steel.My ongoing saga, The Chronicles of Carrenvar, spans multiple volumes, including Autumn of Su'mir, Anbraithia Stirs, The Gathering Dark, Wilting of an Empire, and The Dawn of Blood.Through my writing, I love to explore philosophical questions about power: does true authority lie in the blood of tyrants like Emperor Nia'bious, the swords of vengeance-driven rebels like Khachi of the Meti, or the raw, untamed wrath of the earth itself?I draw heavy inspiration from the sweeping world-building of the genre's greatest titans. When I am not writing about the collapse of ancient empires, cunning queens, and the devastating clash between magic and technology, I am hard at work expanding the turbulent map of Carrenvar.Thank you for reading, and welcome to the dawn of a new age.

My Stories

Autumn is coming to Carrenvar...
An empire at its height. A world on the brink.Su'mir has known centuries of conquest and prosperity, but beneath its golden façade the cracks are beginning to show. Political intrigue festers at the heart of the empire while distant frontiers burn with rebellion.To the south, an unlikely conqueror unites the scattered tribes with a single purpose: vengeance.To the north, forgotten powers stir beneath the Mother's lights.And across Carrenvar, lives that seem unconnected begin to weave together into a destiny none of them could have imagined.As ancient beliefs collide with imperial ambition, the coming season will change everything.Autumn has arrived.Autumn of Su'mir is the first epic instalment of The Chronicles of Carrenvar—a sweeping fantasy of war, politics, faith and destiny, where every victory carries a cost, and the greatest threats often come from within.
