At the Castle of Gormenghast, the Groan family has ruled with dusty ceremony for more than seventy generations. A clever and ambitious new kitchen boy, Steerpike, begins to insinuate himself into the affections of Lady Fuchsia Groan and to murder his way to power.
2000
Newborn Titus Groan is destined to rule Gormenghast, a kingdom based on complicated and unbreakable traditions. Meanwhile an ambitious kitchen slave schemes to escape his destiny and overthrow the old order.
Steerpike's secret machinations begin to throw Gormenghast into chaos and madness, threatening the reign of the future Earl Titus.
Now a teenager, Titus rebels against the strict traditions of Gormenghast as he begins to explore the world outside the walls.
After a string of tragedies, Titus must finally confront the scheming Steerpike and determine where his own destiny lies.
