Description
In the labyrinthine castle of Gormenghast, young Titus Groan, heir to a crumbling dynasty, finds his world of ancient rituals and Byzantine intrigue threatened by external forces. A cunning servant's ambition and the arrival of a wild, untamed girl set in motion a chain of events that will shake the very foundations of this gothic realm. This acclaimed work, the second in a celebrated trilogy, expands upon its predecessor, delving deeper into a unique world teetering on the brink of collapse. Mervyn Peake's masterful prose crafts an unforgettable narrative of power, decay, and the struggle for survival within a kingdom suffocated by its own history.
