Phil Tucker is a self-published fantasy author who has been writing since 2012. He started with several standalone novels before finding a large audience with Chronicles of the Black Gate, an epic fantasy series that drew comparisons to classic secondary-world fantasy. Since then, he has worked across several subgenres, including LitRPG, cultivation fantasy, vampire fiction, and Norse-inspired adventure.
His most recent major series is The Immortal Great Souls, which began with Bastion in 2021 and has become one of the more talked-about cultivation fantasy series in the self-publishing space. The series follows characters who gain power through a structured system of advancement, a hallmark of the cultivation genre that has roots in Chinese xianxia fiction. Tucker also wrote Dawn of the Void, a LitRPG apocalypse series, and Euphoria Online, set inside a deadly virtual reality game.
Tucker writes quickly and releases frequently, often publishing multiple books per year. His 2025 output includes the four-book Throne Hunters series. Readers who enjoy progression fantasy, where characters grow stronger through defined systems of power, will find his catalog worth exploring.
