Synopsis

Who dares look into her eyes? The Shamer is feared and resented for her power to unmask the soul's darkest secrets and crimes. Dina has inherited this gift from her mother, but to her it feels more like a curse.


Dina's mother has just begun to teach her how to use her power when she is called away by the Court of the Ravens, to aid in the detection of the murderer of four members of the royal family. Dina's mother does not return. Instead, Dina is fetched by a stranger, Drakan; finding him able to look into her eyes calmly and innocently, she goes with him.


But, arriving at the House of the Ravens, she finds her mother captive, and she herself no more than a pawn in a terrifying game of blackmail. Terrified, Dina escapes. But she is pitted against an implacable enemy: Drakan and his army of dragons...

Media Reviews
This novel stands on its own and offers a satisfying conclusion even as it provides and intriguing setting and mythology for future adventures * Publishers Weekly *
Full of passion * The Guardian *
A riveting story of trial and escape, danger and death ... The term page turner is often used but not always justified. It is deserved here, tenfold. I really, really couldn't put it down * School Librarian *
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 *
[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 *
