In a world where dragons grow stronger by consuming the flesh of their dead kin, a family's fate hinges on one final inheritance. When the aging Bon Agornin dies, his modest estate—and his body—must be divided among his children. But one son-in-law devours more than his rightful share, igniting a bitter dispute that ripples through law, church, and court. Amid crumbling customs, unmarried daughters face uncertain futures, and old privileges collide with new ideals of justice. A sweeping tale of manners, love, greed, and obligation, Tooth and Claw reimagines Victorian society with dragons clawing for their place.
