Dyrenes rike utforsker det å være mor - fra de ømmeste øyeblikkene av lys og kjærlighet til det punktet der man forvandles til et rasende villdyr som gjør alt for å beskytte avkommet sitt. Gjennom romanen stiller Gin Phillips spørsmålet om hvor grensen går mellom det dyriske overlevelsesinstinktet og plikten vi som mennesker har til å ta vare på hverandre. For hvem skal en mor risikere livet?
