Rebel of the Sands is a stunning debut full of irresistible energy, heart-stopping action, and a new voice that sings."--Alison Goodman, New York Times bestselling author of Eon and Eona, PRAISE FOR Rebel of the Sands : "Romantic, thrilling, hilarious, and just plain great fun."-- Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews "This atmospheric fantasy combines magic, mythology, and the Wild West to create a riveting tale...an exciting, romantic adventure that is unique and all its own."-- Starred Review, Booklist "If the best of the Old West and the coolest parts of Arabian Nights had a baby who then rebelled by going steampunk, the result would be this gem of a book." -- Starred Review, BCCB "Readers will be drawn into the story and won't want to put this book down." -- Starred Review, School Library Connections " Rebel of the Sands is a winning bit of storytelling, as well as a homage to storytelling itself. It evokes such disparate influences -- 1,001 Arabian Nights , Hindu lore and Navajo myth, as well as, inevitably, the triumvirate of Tolkien, Lucas and Rowling -- that at times you wonder whether Hamilton can pull it all off. She can. She has circled a spot on the map and claimed it for her own." -- The New York Times Book Review "Debut author Hamilton combines elements of Western and Middle Eastern civilization and lore with her own mythology, crafting an enticing, full-bodied story . . . successfully mingles romance with thrilling stakes, and hints at a welcome sequel." -- Publishers Weekly "A perfect combination of American Westerns and Arabian myths . . . Fans of Sarah Maas and Victoria Aveyard should give this one a try." -- VOYA " Rebel of the Sands is vivid, romantic, and wildly entertaining. You will cheer for Amani the whole way as she escapes the bonds of oppression and finds her own power, and you will mark your calendar for the sequel." -- Rae Carson, bestselling author of the Fire & Thorns trilogy "Buckle up for a wild ride!
