Fang and Claw

You know this story. Relatives are trying to cope with the death of the head of the family. The son goes to court to defend his inheritance. Another suffers because of what his father told him on his deathbed. One... daughter is led astray, while another sacrifices herself for her husband's happiness. This is a world of politics and progress, church officials and loyal servants, aristocrats and lavish receptions. Yet, after the death, the grieving relatives devour the corpse of the deceased patriarch, while the esteemed members of society, adhering to all formalities and rituals, must fulfill their duty: to eat the weaker offspring. All for the sake of strength and prosperity of the lineage. No, in reality, you do not know this story, as all the participants in this drama are not humans. They are dragons.
