Synopsis
A tale of love, money, and family conflict--among dragons
A family deals with the death of their father. A son goes to court for his inheritance. Another son agonises over his father's deathbed confession. One daughter becomes involved in the abolition movement, while another sacrifices herself for her husband.
And everyone in the tale is a dragon, red in tooth and claw.
Here is a world of politics and train stations, of churchmen and family retainers, of courtship and country houses...in which, on the death of an elder, family members gather to eat the body of the deceased. In which the great and the good avail themselves of the privilege of killing and eating the weaker children, which they do with ceremony and relish, growing stronger thereby.
You have never read a novel like Tooth and Claw.

From the Back Cover
Praise for Jo Walton
“The King’s Peace beautifully and thought-provokingly tells a story set in a world and a history almost like ours, but different enough to be in itself a kind of elvenland. It’s good to know that there will be more.”
–Poul Anderson
“Walton writes with an authenticity that never loses heart.”
–Robin Hobb
“There is not an ill-written sentence.... Never lacks immediacy or loses its historical quality. Sulien is a soldier first, honorable, capable, and trustworthy, and she is a wonderfully believable character.”
—VOYA on The King’s Peace
“War is a tough subject to do well, but in this gritty, moving second and final book in the saga of Tir Tanagiri, British author Walton makes the strife of civil war not only believable but understandable.... Fine work.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The King’s Name
“The pacing is brisk, the emotional impact great....Walton is making page-turners out of her take on Arthur’s Britain.”
—Booklist on The King’s Name
