Heat level

Behind closed doors

Mortals rule the desert nation of Miraji, but mystical beasts still roam the wild and remote areas, and rumor has it that somewhere, djinni still perform their magic. But there s nothing mystical or magical about Dustwalk, the dead-end town that Amani can t wait to escape from. When the gunslinging girl meets Jin, a mysterious and devastatingly handsome foreigner, in a shooting contest, she sees him as the perfect escape route. But in all her years spent dreaming of leaving Dustwalk, she never imagined she d gallop away on a mythical horse, fleeing the murderous Sultan s army, with a fugitive who s part of the secret rebel movement plotting to overthrow the Sultan. And she d never have predicted she d fall in love with him or that he d help her unlock the truth about who and what she is. Debut author Alwyn Hamilton weaves this spellbinding story of treason, passion, and magic.
