Marc Turner crea romanzi fantasy epici, dal ritmo serrato e dalle trame multiple, conditi con un pizzico di umorismo. Le sue opere su scala panoramica sono popolate da personaggi destinati a rimanere impressi nella memoria del lettore. Influenzato da autori come Steven Erikson e Joe Abercrombie, Turner mira a immergere i lettori nei suoi mondi e nelle sue narrazioni. Per lui, scrivere è l'unica professione in cui sognare ad occhi aperti non è disprezzato, ed è un'impresa a cui non può rinunciare.
