Book Promo: Hero at the Fall by Alwyn Hamilton

Hello, friends! Happy Monday! For the unfortunate individuals of the USA who have to work today (like myself), I am wishing a very good day. Hopefully there are American-flag-shaped baked goods at work for you. I'm hoping!

Today I've got something very exciting to share with you! Some of you may recall a recent tweet of mine that was extremely enthusiastic...


That's right! The third and final book of the Rebel of the Sands trilogy has a title and a publication - and an official synopsis! All of which I'm going to share with you below. There is no cover yet, but I am sure it is worth the wait!

Here is a little description of Hero at the Fall from the author, Alwyn Hamilton:

The rebellion has been betrayed. The Rebel Prince has been captured. And the remnants of the rebellion lie in hands more used to shooting a gun than managing an army: The Blue Eyed Bandit’s. Amani, to those who know her as the girl instead of the legend.

With the Sultan ruthlessly reclaiming the desert with his inhuman army, only a few know that the Rebel Prince is still alive, imprisoned. And if there’s any hope of resurrecting the country’s failing faith in the rebellion, Amani, Jin and their few remaining allies will have to rescue him from a prison deep in the mountains. A place which, until now, Amani thought was a only myth.

Now Amani must return to where she came from, confronting towering walls of fire, dangerous foreign armies, and legendary tricksters. Heading quickly down a road which Amani knows ends in an all out war, and her finding out just how much she can bring herself to sacrifice to save her whole country.

Official Summary:

The breathless finale to the New York Times bestselling Rebel of the Sands series will have you on the edge of your seat until the dust from the final battle clears!

When gunslinging Amani Al'Hiza escaped her dead-end town, she never imagined she'd join a revolution, let alone lead one. But after the bloodthirsty Sultan of Miraji imprisoned the Rebel Prince Ahmed in the mythical city of Eremot, she doesn't have a choice. Armed with only her revolver, her wits, and her untameable Demdji powers, Amani must rally her skeleton crew of rebels for a rescue mission through the unforgiving desert to a place that, according to maps, doesn't exist. As she watches those she loves most lay their lives on the line against ghouls and enemy soldiers, Amani questions whether she can be the leader they need or if she is leading them all to their deaths.

Isn't it great? Let me know if I'm missing anything! I'm not too keen on buying more finished copies so yes, I am missing UK/AUS/CAN/foreign editions. =)

So tell me! Are you as excited as I am about this final novel? Have you read Rebel of the Sands and Traitor to the Throne? What do you expect from this book?
