The Shamer’s Signet

 Dina’s mother is a Shamer, someone who can find out about your darkest secrets with one look in the eye. Dina also has this gift, it is a gift, but sets her apart from all the other children. Dina’s mother goes to the city of Dunark to solve a murder by seeing if the prime suspect, Nicodemus is guilty. But she finds he isn’t, so she is branded as a witch and thrown in a dungeon. Dina goes to find her mother, but if captured too, by Drakan, the true killer who killed in order to become the supreme ruler of the city. But just when Dina and her  mother are to be fed to the dragons, help comes in the form of old friends and they manage to escape. However, Drakan is now powerful and will stop at nothing to see them dead.

   If somebody really had Shamer powers in the real world, it would be really scary. Nobodies secrets would be kept hidden from him/her. However, that would probably be the end of lie detectors. And countries would be fighting to have control over that person. It wouldn’t be very good for everybody else. There are people that can tell lies from truth, (though a Shamer is much better) I wonder if the author is like that?
