Review
A different kind of magic gives spark to this series opener. Dina, like her mother, is a shamer. Nobody in the village will be her friend-one look into Dina's eyes will magically reveal all of the gazer's shameful deeds. If she could, Dina would reject her magic. But when her mother refuses to use shamer power to condemn an innocent man, powerful enemies appear. Dina will need all her gifts to rescue her mother. With wrongfully accused Nicodemus-innocent, Dina knows, of his father's murder-Dina must escape Dunark, now ruled by the wicked upstart Drakan and his dragons. Drakan is mysteriously immune to shame and Dina's magic, and he needs to kill the rightful heir, Nicodemus, to consolidate his rule. Worse, he's condemned Dina's mother to death for witchcraft. Though plenty of plot threads are left for the next three series entries to resolve, Dina's first volume comes to a satisfying conclusion. Standard fantasy spiced with likable characters and an intriguing new magical ability-eagerly awaiting volume two (Fantasy. 10-14) (Kirkus Reviews)
Product Description
Eleven-year-old Dina has just discovered she has inherited her mother's gift - when people look into her eyes, they are forced to acknowledge all their weaknesses and guilt. It is an unhappy gift, though; people shy away from contact with Dina, and believe her mother is a witch. Dina's mother has just begun to teach her how to use her power wisely when she is called away by the Lawgiver of 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 the next day. 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...
