Book Description:
"It ought to be quite a show," said the squire, obviously enjoying the attention of the crowd. "The false Shamer has been convicted of witchcraft and treason and is to be executed tomorrow."
I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe. I knew now where my mother was. Drakan had her. And tomorrow he would give her to the dragons.
Who dares look into the Shamer's eyes?
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 hostility and fear, 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 Shamer's eyes-or let her mother fall prey to the vicious and revolting dragons of Dunark. And one of those dragons is human.

In real life, people can do bad things, and even if they're punished, they may not feel guilt or shame.
Imagine if part of the punishment was to make them feel shame for what they had done. Imagine if you could ACCIDENTALLY make people feel ashamed for wrong things they had done. Imagine if you couldn't prevent that from happening. Imagine someone so evil, they did not feel shame at all.
This book was well written and thought provoking. It grows richer if you also read the following book. (Imagine if someone evil enslaved you and FORCED you to torture people with guilt and shame over little things, to control them.)
