Alwyn Hamilton was born in Toronto and spent her childhood bouncing between Europe and Canada until her parents settled in France. She grew up in a small town there, which might have compelled her to burst randomly into the opening song from Beauty and the Beast were it not for her total tone-deafness. She instead attempted to read and write her way to new places and developed a weakness for fantasy and cross-dressing heroines. She left France for Cambridge University to study history of art at King's College, and then to London, where she became indentured to an auction house. She has a bad habit of acquiring more hardcovers than is smart for someone who moves quite so often. Follow her @AlwynFJH.

"Rebel of the Sands is a winning bit of storytelling, as well as
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! 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
