Blog Tour Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton {Trailer & Giveaway}

Rebel of the Sands has released it’s new paperback cover and it’s gorgeous! It’s very similar to the international covers I fell in love with! Grab a copy because book two, Traitor to the Throne, will be March 7th!  I have the pleasure to re-share my book trailer I made for Rebel of the Sands almost two years ago now!
 
Make sure to enter the giveaway at the bottom and check out all the awesome posts in this tour!

I remember coming across the original US cover on Amazon one day and instantly knowing I needed it! So, I went to work creating this book trailer based off photo inspirations from Alwyn’s Pinterest board and a song suggestion directly from Alwyn!

Enjoy! (Note all the different cover changes this series has undergone. They’ve been all been amazing though!)

REBEL OF THE SANDS Summary:

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.


Author Bio:
 
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 house quite so often. Follow her at@AlwynFJH .

    I love the trailer. Any time there are horses galloping, I will be glued to the screen. This book has undergone major art changes, but still sounds so exciting to read.

      Loc Posted on These are really cool Google tricks. There are a lot out there but the one I used a lot is when you need to find a phone # of say a certain buisenss. You just type in the area code and the business. So type 613 Boston Pizza.
