ZAHANARA: Book 4 Title
The curse is complete. The realm is healing. So why does freedom feel like a new kind of cage?
Michael finished what Anansi started. The rifts are sealed. The Council is broken. But the chains that bound Zahanara for generations left scars deeper than anyone imagined—and the new order Michael helped create might be gilded bars around a different prison.
Some prophecies don't end. They just change shape.
Book 4: Coming 2027

About the Author
Odin Smalls writes epic fantasy that asks: What comes after the breaking? When the chains are gone but their shape remains in muscle memory?
The Zahanara Chronicles explores these questions through progression fantasy mechanics, West African mythology, and characters who discover that freedom is just the beginning of the real work.

What does a retired Army NCO do after a lifetime of service? If you're Odin Smalls, you trade your uniform for a keyboard and start ordering gods and mythical creatures around instead. He found that the discipline required to lead soldiers translated surprisingly well to building fantasy worlds, though his characters tend to follow orders less often. A proud father and grandfather, Odin now writes the kind of sprawling adventures he's always loved to read. It's his new mission, and the commute is much better.
