The glorious castle of Gormenghast is home to the ancient family of
Groan, where nothing has changed for thousands of years. The dynasty is
threatened by the charming and evil kitchen-boy Steerpike. With the
birth of a new heir, Titus Groan, Steerpike begins his ruthless ascent
to power.
As he charms, outwits and terrorises the castle's
inhabitants, only Titus, the young and timid Earl of Groan, stands in
Steerpike's way. Who will triumph? And can Gormenghast survive?
