The Fractured States series by Boyd Craven Jr. consists of two books, both published in 2025. The series opens with Fractured States, which establishes the world and premise, then continues with Dark Meridian. The titles suggest a setting built around societal breakdown and a world pushed toward its limits.
Boyd Craven Jr. is a prolific writer in the post-apocalyptic and survival fiction space, and Fractured States fits that pattern — a fast-moving series that drops readers into a scenario where the old order has broken down and characters must navigate what comes next. Dark Meridian picks up the story directly and is best read after the first book.
With only two books in the series so far, both published in 2025, it may still be ongoing. Readers who start with Fractured States and want to continue will find Dark Meridian available on Amazon.
