Hello everyone! Long time no see, eh? A little while ago I was reached out to by a good friend and asked if I was interested in participating in the creative tour for REBEL OF THE SANDS. Knowing the tour was celebrating the release of Rebel in paperback, as well as celebrating the fact that Traitor to the Throne is soooo close to being released (March 7!!!!!), I jumped onboard eagerly! Creative tour? Right up my alley! And as you're jamming out to the playlist, you can scroll down to the end of this post to enter the Rafflecopter giveaway for a paperback with the new cover of Rebel!

She’s more gunpowder than girl—and the fate of the desert lies in her hands. 

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. But there's nothing mystical or magical about Dustwalk, the dead-end town that Amani can't wait to escape from. 
Destined to wind up "wed or dead," Amani’s counting on her sharpshooting skills to get her out of Dustwalk. When she meets Jin, a mysterious and devastatingly handsome foreigner, in a shooting contest, she figures he’s the perfect escape route. 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. And she'd never have predicted she'd fall in love with him... or that he'd help her unlock the powerful truth of who she really is.

ABOUT ALWYN: Alwyn Hamilton was born in Toronto and spent her childhood bouncing between Europe and Canada until her parents settled in France. She grew up in a small town there, which might have compelled her to burst randomly into the opening song from Beauty and the Beast were it not for her total tone-deafness. She instead attempted to read and write her way to new places and developed a weakness for fantasy and cross-dressing heroines. She left France for Cambridge University to study History of Art at King’s College, and then to London where she became indentured to an auction house. She has a bad habit of acquiring more hardcovers than is smart for someone who moves house quite so often. Follow her at @AlwynFJH.
