Hey, everyone! I've got an extra special post lined up for you today in celebration of Alwyn Hamilton's debut novel, Rebel of the Sands. Alwyn's novel releases in about two weeks, and I am so so so incredibly excited for this one! In Rebel of the Sands, the main character, Amani, starts to find herself becoming a myth in the making. She's known for her sharpshooting skills, and pretty soon, her reputation is known throughout Maraji.
The folks at Penguin Teen thought it would be cool to think of blogger reputations to celebrate the uniqueness in the community. But before we get to mine, let's get acquainted with Hamilton's book!

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.
