Synopsis

"I gobbled it up!"--Tamora Pierce, on Lene Kaaberbol's The Shamer's Daughter

Dina has unwillingly inherited her mother's gift: the ability to elicit shamed confessions simply by looking into someone's eyes. To Dina, however, these powers are not a gift but a curse. Surrounded by fear and hostility, she longs for simple friendship.

But when her mother is called to Dunark Castle to uncover the truth about a bloody triple murder, Dina must come to terms with her power--or let her mother fall prey to the vicious and revolting dragons of Dunark.

About this title

Review:

"Dina's courage and resourcefulness . . . will appeal to fans of Tamora Pierce's work." --School Library Journal

"This first book in the Shamer Chronicles is a page-turner; readers will eagerly await the next episode." --Booklist

From the Publisher:

Fans of Tanith Lee's 'Wolf Tower' series will relish the drama of Dina's adventure and enjoy her witty, sharp narrative.
An impressive and original fantasy, rich in ideas and meaning, with memorable characters and a vivid setting. A page-turning read from an exciting writer - her first novel to be published in English.
Look out for the independent sequel, 'The Shamer's Signet', also published by Hodder.
