Wow, this book was gripping from the start! Western meets middle east fantasy in this thrilling adventure from debut author Alwyn Hamilton and I absolutely loved it. 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. 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. For humans, it’s an unforgiving place, especially if you’re poor, orphaned, or female.Īmani Al’Hiza is all three. SUMMARY: 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.
