 | The Shamer's Daughter A Shamer is someone born with the gift of making you feel shame for the wrongs you have committed just by looking into your eyes, someone who can make you confess to your crimes, a person whose gift can sadly be misused when the wrong people try to control it. This is the gift that Dina has inherited from her mother. When Dina's mother refuses to use her gift to condemn an innocent young man for the wicked Lord Drakan, he says he'll feed her to the dragons, too. Eleven-year-old Dina soon finds herself caught in a struggle to save both her mother and the young heir Nico from Drakan's clutches. |
 | The Shamer's Signet When Dina and a little boy from a neighboring family are kidnapped, her brother Davin takes it upon himself to rescue them but the stakes are only getting higher. Dina is forced to used her gift against innocent people, and rivalries back home are growing the potential to turn in to battles. |
 | The Serpent Gift Hoping she can get back to life as normal and eventually restore her gift, Dina begins to have encounters with a mysterious stranger. When he shows up at their home one day, her mother sends him away and locks up the door and all the windows to cottage, not offering much of an explanation. Dina and her family soon find themselves fleeing across the countryside with only one immediate goal: to not be found. Each installment of this series is better than the last. Even when I had to put this book down for things like food and work and social engagements, the story never left my mind and I'd find myself racing to get back to it. |
 | The Shamer's War When Nico decides to leave on a secret mission, Davin, Dina, and Rose can't help but follow, to find out what he's up to and to make sure nothing happens to him. He's seeking a way to destroy Drakan, but his wicked half-brother has a plot of his own to see through. Suddenly, all the characters are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or is it the right one? This is definitely one of the best books I have ever read, with character trials we all can relate to, nonstop adventure, budding love interests, magic, and an excellent coming weaving together of the many threads shown to readers throughout the quartet. |
