Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton

Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton

The New York Times bestselling novel by the Goodreads Choice Awards Best Debut Author of 2016, published in 15 countries

Mortals rule the desert nation of Miraji, but mythical beasts still roam the wild and remote areas, and rumor has it that somewhere, djinn still perform their magic. For humans, it's an unforgiving place, especially if you're poor, orphaned, or female.

Amani Al'Hiza is all three. She's a gifted gunslinger with perfect aim, but she can't shoot her way out of Dustwalk, the back-country town where she's destined to wind up wed or dead. Then she meets Jin, a rakish foreigner, in a shooting contest, and sees him as the perfect escape route. But though she's spent years dreaming of leaving Dustwalk, she never imagined she'd gallop away on mythical horse--or that it would take a foreign fugitive to show her the heart of the desert she thought she knew.

Evokes such disparate influences - 1,001 Arabian Nights, Hindu lore, and Navajo myth, as well as, inevitably, the triumvirate of Tolkien, Lucas and Rowling. --The New York Times Book Review

Fans of Sarah Maas and Victoria Aveyard should give this one a try. --VOYA

Alwyn Hamilton was born in Toronto and spent her youth moving between Europe and Canada until settling in France with her parents. She grew raised in a little town there, which might have prompted her to sing the opening song from Beauty and the Beast if she hadn't been completely tone-deaf. Instead, she tried to travel via reading and writing, and she acquired a weakness for fantasy and cross-dressing heroines. She moved from France to Cambridge University to study art history at King's College, and then to London to work for an auction firm. She has a nasty tendency of collecting more hardcover books than is prudent for someone who moves so frequently. @AlwynFJH is her Twitter handle.
