On her way home from the shops, Nina Borg is attacked. Dazed and half conscious, she hears her assailant ask for her forgiveness. Only later does she understand that this isn't for what he's just done but for what he plans to do to. For the first time, she's the primary target of a hit, and it slowly dawns on her that this case is connected to a surprising and dangerous friendship among three young men from Manila.

Natasha Doroshenko, a Ukrainian woman who has been arrested for murdering her Danish fiancé, escapes police custody on her way to an interrogation in Copenhagen's police headquarters. It isn't the first time Natasha has lost a partner to violent ends: her first husband was also murdered three years earlier, in Kiev, and in the same manner, his hands broken. At the same time, someone tries to abduct Natasha's eight-year-old daughter from the Red Cross center that has been caring for her while her mother, an illegal immigrant, was in jail.

In this feverishly anticipated follow-up to 2011’s critically acclaimed The Boy in the Suitcase, Danish Red Cross nurse Nina Borg doesn’t realize she is putting life and family on the line when she tries to treat a group of sick Hungarian gypsies who are living illegally in a Copenhagen garage. Nina has unwittingly thrown herself into a deadly nest of the unscrupulous and the desperate, and what is at stake is much more terrifying than anyone had realized.

Nina Borg, a Red Cross nurse, wife, and mother of two, is a compulsive do-gooder who can’t say no when someone asks for help—even when she knows better. When her estranged friend Karin leaves her a key to a public locker in the Copenhagen train station, Nina gets suckered into her most dangerous project yet.

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 fear and hostility, she longs for simple friendship.

Dina has inherited the Shamer’s Gift from her mother: she can shame even the most hardened wrong-doers, simply by looking into their eyes. But now she discovers a far more terrifying inheritance: her father is a Blackmaster and has the Serpent Gift for lie and illusion. And when he comes to claim his daughter, Dina and her family are catapulted into reckless flight and danger.

Dina has the Shamer's Gift—one look into her eyes, and none can mask their guilt or hide their shame. Now even her brother, Davin, no longer dares to meet her glance. His conscience is troubled by his mother and sister's power, and he wants to avenge the crimes committed against his family with a battle by the sword. But these are treacherous times and Dina's life is in terrible danger. Kidnapped by the corrupt Valdracu, she is forced to use her gift as a weapon. And Davin becomes her only hope of escape.

Davin's never been good at telling what's brave and what's merely stupid, but when he tries to stop Nico from following his destiny, he knows he's crossed the line. And now his sister, Dina, is caught up in Nico's quest. Her Shamer's Gift means she can bring humiliation to the most hardened villain, simply by looking him in the eye. But faced by Nico's deadliest enemy, Dina knows this won't be enough.

On June 2nd, 1894, in the wake of President Marie Francois Sadi Carnot's assassination, France descends into chaos and riots in the streets of Varbourg. Many lives are lost in the mayhem, but when one lady of the night is found murdered with brutal incisions and no sign of a struggle, it is clear something is amiss. Madeleine Karno, the tenacious protagonist from Doctor Death, must ask herself the terrifying question: Do they have their very own Jack the Ripper in France?

Danish Red Cross nurse Nina Borg has dedicated her life to helping Copenhagen's most desperate: illegal immigrants, abused women, and others underserved by society. But Nina's do-gooder complex often takes her into dangerous situations and communities beyond the margins of the law's protection.

En mystisk mand dukker op på markedet, han står der bare lige pludselig og spærrer vejen for Dina og vil ikke flytte sig. Han ser på hende med et besynderligt udtryk i ansigtet - som om han har fundet noget. Dina mærker et stik af uro - og det har hun god grund til, viser det sig senere. For det er Sezuan, Sortemester - og Dinas far. Dinas mor er bange for ham, så bange at hun og hele familien flygter over hals og hoved, men kan man overhovedet skjule sig for en Sortemester?

Familien må flygte fra deres hjem, men kan ikke flygte fra den farlige Drakan og hans mænd, som får mere og mere magt. Dinas bror Davin bliver nu også involveret, og Dina og Davin kommer ud for voldsomme begivenheder.

Skammerkrigen er den spændende afslutning på historien om Dina, Skammerens datter. Nico havde kaldt Carmian stærk, men jeg troede bare hun var kold. Kold, hårdhjertet og falsk. Og hende havde Nico valgt at stole på? Jeg har lagt mit liv i dine hænder, havde han sagt. Men hvis han absolut skulle lægge sit liv i nogens hænder, hvorfor kunne det så ikke være mine? Hvis Drakan skal standses, skal det være nu. Men Dina synes Nicos plan er mere farlig end klog - og kampen mod dragehæren er ikke en krig der kan vindes med sværdet alene.

Det er ikke med vilje, at Dina er havnet i Dunarks Dragegård. Hun har ikke spor lyst til at spille helt. Faktisk er det hendes højeste ønske at være en ganske almindelig pige og måske få nogle ganske almindelige venner. Men det går ikke, når man er Skammerens datter og har øjne, ingen almindelige mennesker tør se ind i.
