" le destin du désert repose entre ses mains".

Enfermée depuis tant d'années dans une vie étouffante au cœur du désert, Amani n'aurait jamais rêvé qu'un jour elle galoperait sur un cheval fantastique avec un fugitif recherché pour trahison. Emportée par le tourbillon de l'aventure, elle n'aurait pas imaginé non plus qu'elle tomberait amoureuse de lui...ni qu'elle l'aiderait à mener la résistance contre le Sultan

Mortals rule the desert nation of Miraji, but mythical beasts still roam the wild and remote areas, and rumor has it that somewhere, djinn still perform their magic. For humans, it’s an unforgiving place, especially if you’re poor, orphaned, or female. Amani Al’Hiza is all three. She’s a gifted gunslinger with perfect aim, but she can’t shoot her way out of Dustwalk, the back-country town where she’s destined to wind up wed or dead.

Then she meets Jin, a rakish foreigner, in a shooting contest, and sees him as the perfect escape route. But though she’s spent years dreaming of leaving Dustwalk, she never imagined she’d gallop away on mythical horse—or that it would take a foreign fugitive to show her the heart of the desert she thought she knew.

This startlingly original Middle-East-meets-Wild-West fantasy reveals what happens when a dream deferred explodes—in the fires of rebellion, of romantic passion, and the all-consuming inferno of a girl finally embracing her power.

Prisonnière d'une vie étouffante au coeur du désert, Amani n'aurait jamais imaginé galoper un jour sur un cheval fantastique, en compagnie d'un fugitif recherché pour trahison. Elle ne se serait jamais doutée non plus qu'elle en tomberait amoureuse... ni qu'elle l'aiderait à mener la résistance contre le sultan.

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.
