![]() But in all her years spent dreaming of leaving home, she never imagined she'd gallop away on a mythical horse, fleeing the murderous Sultan's army, with a fugitive who's wanted for treason. When she meets Jin, a mysterious and devastatingly handsome foreigner, in a shooting contest, she figures he’s the perfect escape route. But there's nothing mystical or magical about Dustwalk, the dead-end town that Amani can't wait to escape from.ĭestined to wind up "wed or dead," Amani’s counting on her sharpshooting skills to get her out of Dustwalk. ![]() Mortals rule the desert nation of Miraji, but mystical beasts still roam the wild and barren wastes, and rumor has it that somewhere, djinni still practice their magic. ![]() She’s more gunpowder than girl-and the fate of the desert lies in her hands. Either way, Rebel of the Sands is exquisite and such a fun read! Maybe it was Hamilton's descriptive writing that drew you into her world of magic, or the fierce attitude of our protagonist. There was something crazy compelling about this book. It combines Hindu mythology, fantasy and magic, with action and battles fought across a desert landscape. ![]() ![]() I knew I needed to bump Rebel of the Sands, by Alwyn Hamilton, up on my list based on rave reviews from fellow readers, and I am so glad that I did. ![]()
