Annotation:

This fantasy fiction is narrated in first person and suitable to grade 2-8. The story focus on the plot more than action and the author write in an intensifying pace. 

The story happened in the city of Bryre and the main character, Kymera, has a raven's wings, a snake's tail, and a cat's eyes and claws. Her scientist father brought her back to life after a wizard killed her. But she begins to question his motives, especially after she connects with a boy in the town from which she is rescuing sick girls. Together, Kymera and the boy set out to save their homeland of Bryre with the help of Batu, a pensive rock dragon. A likely read-aloud that has its share of guts, blood, and grim reality within this fantasy  land and this book can keep young readers thinking about trust, good and evil, friendship and loyalty, and devotion to community
