Fractured Horizons

A dystopian thriller by debut author S.P. Mercer.

When the pathogen came, it took their minds before their lives.

Clint is a father on borrowed time. In a world broken by a pathogen that drives men to madness, he's one of the few still clinging to reason. With his son Ezra in tow, he moves through a world where men can't be trusted, where Legions-bands of the lost and violent-roam unchecked, and where the greatest threat may be the one growing inside his own mind.

At the outbreak's edge, Dr. Elizabeth Stevens fought to contain the collapse. But within her team, something darker was taking root. Dr. Jane Tomkins, once a brilliant ally, grew obsessed-crossing ethical lines in her pursuit of a cure, leaving behind a legacy as dangerous as the pathogen itself.

Now, as Clint battles the sickness clawing at his sanity, he must find a way to keep Ezra safe-before he becomes the very thing he fears.

Fractured Horizons is a gritty, emotional debut about love, sacrifice, and what remains when humanity fractures beyond repair.
