“Buckle up for a wild ride!”—Alison Goodman, New York Times bestselling author of Eon and Eona
“This atmospheric fantasy combines magic, mythology, and the Wild West to create a riveting tale.”—Booklist, starred review
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 Amani meets Jin—a rakish foreigner—in a shooting contest and sees him as the perfect chance to escape. 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.
