Zahanara Chronicles: Secrets, Lies, and Lust for Power (Prequel)

A Prequel Novella to The Zahanara Chronicles

Before Michael was Broken, he was born a miracle.

In the Unified Command Citadel, four Sects preserve an uneasy peace through rigid breeding laws and absolute control. For seven generations, the Council has kept Anansi’s curse contained by making sure the bloodlines never mix.

But when Djinn Warrior Irfan al-Hashim and half-Apsara Resonant Amara conceive a child without permission, they trigger a trial that has been waiting for nineteen years.

Two couples. Two forbidden pregnancies. Two children prophesied to save the realm or destroy it.

As the Council closes in, Irfan and Amara must hide a terrible truth: if their children are born with all four Sect marks, they will be executed within hours. Their only hope is an ancient forbidden ritual called mark severance, a way to cut visible power away so their children can survive.

Some love looks like sacrifice. Some mercy looks like betrayal. And some children must appear Broken long enough to change the world.

Discover the devastating origin of Michael’s hidden power and the choice that made him seem powerless to keep him alive.
