''[[The Shamer Chronicles]]'' is a series of children's fantasy novels written by a Danish author Lene Kaaberboel. There are four books in total: ''The Shamer's Daughter, The Shamer's Signet, The Serpent's Gift'' and ''The Shamer's War''. The books are about Dina Tonerre who has unwillingly inherited her mother's Gift: the ability to elicit shamed confessions from even the most hardened wrong-doers, simply by looking into their eyes. Starting with the second book, her older and completely normal brother Davin becomes the second point-of-view character.
 
The story starts with Dina's mother being called to Dunark Castle to elicit a confession from the seventeen year old heir to the throne who is blamed for commiting a bloody triple murder. Dina's mother promises to return as fast as she can, but the next day comes and she is not showing up. Which is when a yet another person comes from Dunark and takes Dina with him, telling her that Dina's mother needs her help.
