Review:

the most original new fiction of this kind ... equally appealing to boys. Here be dragons, sorcery and battles, but Kaaberbol's thrilling and thoughtful series is really about perceiving the limitations and deceits of adulthood. (The Times)

The Shamer's Daughter: '[A] fine novel ... The term 'page-turner' is often used but not always justified. It is deserved here, tenfold. I really, really couldn't put the book down.' (The School Librarian)

Full of passion (Julia Eccleshare, The Guardian)

Book Description:

A gripping fantasy, full of mystery and adventure, told in alternating chapters from our heroine, Dina, and her brother, Davin.
