South Breaks

A Mage reunited with her family will protect them at any cost. For twenty-five years, South Rabbit has given everything to the Holy Empire and its Priests: her magic, her power, her children, even her beloved Moon. Her very life is next, destined to be extinguished on top of a pyramid. Given a chance by fate, South narrowly escapes death and is reunited with the family she was stolen from as a baby. At the discovery of a gentle, heartsick young man in her bed, sent by her sneaky Shaman aunt, South embraces the opportunity to soothe her grief, heal him and find a new lover. When the Priests once again wreak havoc on her family, South refuses to let them get away with kidnapping and abuse, no matter what the cost. But are her magic and cunning enough to win a fight against the Priests who have whole groups of mages at their command? South Breaks is the first book in an epic fantasy series following the fates of eight magic users and their fight against the fanatic Priests of the Holy Empire. If you enjoy fast-paced adventures, exotic settings, creative use of magic, cute animal friends, occasional romantic subplots and the long arc of destiny, South Breaks by Hannah Steenbock is the perfect book to start a new series with. South Breaks became a semi-finalist in the 2024 SPFBO Fantasy Award contest. Best reading order:South BreaksWest Flows East Roars North ShattersEarth SplitsSky FallsSun Burns
