About This Book

Step into a world of magic, mythology, mystery, and dragons in this thrilling fantasy book for kids ages 10-14—the first in a series!

" . . . in good standing alongside Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy and C. S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia." —Booklist

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.

The Shamer's Daughter is the first unforgettable middle grade fantasy in the best-selling Shamer Chronicles series, which has sold more than 25 million copies worldwide!
