![]() ![]() ![]() When Amani gets over the betrayal, she soon also finds out that she is a ‘Demdjii’ with supernatural powers and gets pulled into the uprising. ![]() ![]() The story is spiced with fairytale animals, like the ‘Buraqi’, a sand horse that can be turned into a real steed by a girl, ‘Nightmares’ that remains in the sands, coming out only at night to inject humans with venom that infects the mind and body, ‘Skinwalkers’ that shift their form from one victim to another, ‘Djinns’ men made of out of smokeless fir and others.ĭuring the journey, Amani’s and Jin’s banter grows into love, but after rescuing a wounded Jin to a safe haven he’s pointed out, Amani finds out that Jin is not just an ordinary boy, but the brother of the rebelling Prince fighting to overthrow the Sultan. What’s special in this series is the mythology that Alwyn Hamilton weaves into the tale. Taking her chance, she follows him on a dangerous journey through the deserts. Until she meets a stranger, Jin, in a sharpshooting competition. Her whole life, she’s been trying to leave Dustwalk, the unforgiving dead-end dessert town she’s grown up in, without success. Known as the ‘Blue-Eyed Bandit’, Amani has always been “more gunpowder than girl”. I totally adore the main character Amani and what a fierce tomboy she was. ![]()
