“Once, in the desert country of Miraji, there was a Sultan without an heir.

The heir had been killed by his own brother, the treacherous Rebel Prince, who was consumed by jealousy and sought the throne for himself.

Or so it was said by some. There were others who said that the Rebel Prince was not a traitor but a hero…

In the final battle for the throne, Amani must fight for everything she believes in, but with the rebellion in pieces, and the Sultan’s armies advancing across the desert plains, who will lead, who will triumph, who will live and who will die?”

This is the third and final book in the Rebel of the Sands trilogy. This was excellent conclusion to this epic fantasy YA series. I really enjoyed this book.

There are a ton of characters and at times that can get a bit overwhelming; but the index in the front really helps with keeping all the characters and their histories straight.

This series had amazing world-building and amazing characters. The story is fast-paced and easy to follow. I really enjoyed the middle eastern setting and all the djinni based magic.

Overall this was a fantastic YA epic fantasy series. I would recommend to those who enjoy adventure fantasy.
