After her mother, a Shamer is summoned to Dunark for a mission, ten-year old Dina is forced to use her own special abilities as she is caught up in an adventure of political intrigue and survival.) It ought to be quite a show, said the squire, obviously enjoying the attention of the crowd. The false Shamer has been convicted of witchcraft and treason and is to be executed tomorrow. I couldn"t move. I couldn"t breathe. I knew now where my mother was. Drakan had her. And tomorrow he would give her to the dragons.Who dares look into the Shamer"s eyes?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 hostility and fear, 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 Shamer"s eyes-or let her mother fall prey to the vicious and revolting dragons of Dunark. And one of those dragons is human. Books.

Slowly it raised its head, swaying from side to side... Dina stands transfixed in the pit of alligator-dragons she must cross to rescue her mother in the labyrinthine castle of the wicked Lord Drakan. Three people have been murdered by someone, and Dina's mother has been summoned to confirm the guilt of young Nico, who was found standing over the bodies with bloody hands. She is a Shamer, and to meet her gaze means confronting all the shameful acts one has ever committed. Yet she finds no guilt in Nico, and will not accuse him, although Drakan is strangely, and menacingly, insistent that she do so. Dina has inherited her ability, but finds it alienates her from everyone in the village. She longs for just one friend who will look her in the eyes. But now Drakan has threatened to use his dragons to execute her mother publicly on the morrow, and Dina must find allies to save her. Before the story is over Dina will find those allies and that loyal friend--but also feel the dragon's needle-sharp fangs, in this exciting beginning to a promising fantasy series translated from the Danish. (Ages 10 to 14) -- Patty Campbell.
