This is one of our favourite YA fantasy trilogies - full of powerful Djinni magic, epic battles and a fierce and witty heroine you won't be able to not love. And, yes, it has romance too!
The books centre around Amani, who has lived her entire life in a small desert town called Dustwalk. But she's had enough of the small-town life and will do anything to leave. A promising shooter, she takes up the first opportunity to escape the place she's always known as home for bigger and better things. Only they're more dangerous than she ever could have imagined, and we will do our best not to spoil the books further for you!
One thing we can guarantee is brilliant world-building, a swoon-worthy love interest (Jin has stolen our hearts!) and funny banter between characters.
If you enjoy romance and fantasy or love any of the titles in our Best Romantasy Books, this series is sure to not disappoint. You may also want to pick this up if you're a fan of Red Queen, Sands Of Arawiya or This Woven Kingdom.
Alwyn Hamilton has absolutely outdone herself with this magical, fantastical and spellbinding series about shooting contests, train robberies, festivals under the stars, Djinni magic and an electrifying love story.
