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 terrorizes 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?
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, young Titus Groan 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.
