This startlingly original Middle-East-meets-Wild-West fantasy reveals what happens when a dream deferred explodes-in the fires of rebellion, of romantic passion, and the all-consuming inferno of a girl finally embracing her power. 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. Then she meets Jin, a rakish foreigner, in a shooting contest, and sees him as the perfect escape route. Rebel of the Sands - by Alwyn Hamilton (Paperback) 9.99When purchased online In Stock Add to cart About this item Specifications Dimensions (Overall):8.2 Inches (H) x 5.4 Inches (W) x 1.0 Inches (D) Weight. 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. Rebel of the Sands is a winning bit of storytelling, as well as homage to storytelling itself. I have to admit: Alwyn Hamilton’s Rebel of the Sands made me a little nervous. For humans, it’s an unforgiving place, especially if you’re poor, orphaned, or female. Amani Al’Hiza is all three. There’s something hauntingly beautiful about a book set in a desert. 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.
