A power out of control. A Pillar in the hands of a Priestess. A deadly desert burning with heat.

Sun Snake’s life is coming to its sacrificial end. His best friend is already gone, and he’s ready to join Moon in death. When his Power goes rogue as the knives come out, Sun literally falls into a new life fraught with danger.

Scared and lonely, Sun struggles to control the fire that bursts from his fingers at the worst moments. He has a single ally, the Priestess who fell with him – if only he could trust her. Desperate to get out of the Holy Empire, Sun allows Laisal to guide him as they sneak across the mountains to the east. Soon they end up being hunted by Houses, driven into a vast desert, towards certain doom.

Can Sun cheat death a second time?

“Sun Burns” explores a part of the continent no other Wind or Pillar has seen yet, in a tale filled with action, magic and desperate acts.

If you like enemies to friends and slow burn, amid the struggle to simply stay alive, set in a magical world with ever greater stakes, the third book of the Pillars of the Empire by Hannah Steenbock will grab your heart.

Hannah Steenbock is a German writer of Speculative Fiction. She uses both her native German and English as languages for her tales, as she loves English and tends to think in that language when plotting Fantasy.

She prefers stories with satisfying endings and generally refrains from slaying her characters. That's why she likes to call her stories “feel-good fantasy”.

After finishing university with a degree in English and Spanish, Hannah lives and works in Kiel, the northernmost state capital of Germany. Her other pastimes include reading on her balcony, strolling along beaches, talking with trees, and devouring as many stories as time allows.

Her book "Sequoia" won two awards in the Turning the Pages Book of the Year Awards, for Best Short Story Book of the Year 2013 and Best Folklore Book of the Year 2013.
