REBEL OF THE SANDS, by Alwyn Hamilton

The story: Amani just wants to get out of her dead-end town. Little does she know that making her escape just ahead of the Sultan's troops will throw her into the path of djinns, death, and disturbance --and a young man name Jin, who is certainly not who he claims to be, and is far more than she ever dreamed. But guess what? So is she...FAR more than she ever dreamed.

June Cleaver's ratings: Language PG-13; Violence PG-13; Sexual content PG; Nudity PG; Substance abuse PG; Magic & the occult PG-13; GLBT content G; adult themes (magical violence, political intrigue, conspiracy) PG-13; overall rating PG-13.

Liz's comments: a "magical" read (excuse the pun...or don't). This was a fast-paced mashup of a wild west showdown and a tale from the Arabian nights. Give it to your upper-level fantasy readers, and make sure you also have the sequel, "Traitor to the Throne".
