The Castaways series is one of Craig Schaefer’s newer projects, with both books published in 2025. The duology follows characters stranded in a dangerous environment where the threats they face go beyond simple survival. Schaefer layers in dark fantasy elements as the story reveals that something unnatural is at work.
Castaways opens the series and Firebreak continues the story, building tension as the characters fight to understand what is happening around them and find a way out. The books are a compact read for fans of survival stories with a supernatural edge.
