In a Victorian-inspired society inhabited by dragons, the novel weaves a tale of family, inheritance, and societal norms. Following the death of a patriarch, his offspring find themselves embroiled in a struggle over his legacy, confronting issues of class, gender, and power. The story challenges the characters' morality and the very fabric of their draconic culture, where strength and ruthlessness are often valued over compassion and justice. As the siblings navigate their complex social hierarchy, they must also deal with personal ambitions, romantic entanglements, and the harsh realities of their predatory nature.
