Alwyn Hamilton grew up in a French-Canadian household and spent time living in several countries before settling in London. She made her debut with Rebel of the Sands in 2016, a young adult fantasy novel that mixes the mythology of the Arabian Nights with the grit of a Wild West setting. The book was well received and led to two sequels, Traitor to the Throne and Hero at the Fall, plus a companion novella, Tales from Sand & Sea.

After finishing the trilogy, Hamilton published The Notorious Virtues in 2020, a standalone that moved into different territory. Her writing is known for fast pacing, a strong heroine, and world-building that pulls from cultures not often seen in mainstream YA fantasy.
