Amani lives with her uncle and aunt, as well as a bunch of cousins. Hey, what else can a girl do when she’s in trouble, right? But at home, things aren’t going so great either. But this smart girl’s outta there the moment trouble starts, so she abandons him. It’s here that she sees a mysterious foreigner named Jin, who for some reason helps her out. I loved seeing her skills rather than the being told how good of a sharpshooter she is. We start the book off with a BANG as Amani takes a round in a shooting contest for the victor’s money. The setting, the characters, the magic, the story – everything just makes me want to shout to the world “READ THIS NOWWWAlong the way, we learn more about Djinn in the world and end up being involved with a rebellion taking place in the desert. I’m not sure how to properly convey my love for this book. Thank you lovely Kit from Let the Pages Reign for sending me a review copy! 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. 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.
