A Dragon by Any Other Name - S D Grimm

. .

Résumé :
This time, beauty is the beast. And she wants prince charming dead. At eighteen, Keira is a formidable dragon hunter bent on finding her parents' killer-a forest dragon she once helped escape her mother's laboratory. Biggest mistake of her life. Now, Keira pours her thirst for revenge into her mother's life-long mission: figuring out what a forest dragon's poison is . . . so she can destroy the murderers for good. But Keira's plan begins to unravel when she takes on a life debt to a forest dragon in order to save her brother. Trapped behind enemy lines, Keira's assumptions about dragons are turned upside down, and she must confront the possibility that everything she knows about dragons is wrong. As she gets closer to discovering the forest dragon's poison, she must decide if the price of this knowledge is worth the sacrifice. In this not-quite fairy tale, what the princess needs most is a change of heart. But will it change in time for her to save those she's already sentenced to death-even if the cost is her own freedom?...
