Description

In the world of Gormenghast, time is predetermined and events are set in motion by a complex ritual. Here, the first novel opens with the birth of Titus, heir to Lord Sepulchrave, who stands to inherit the vast stone castle that is Gormenghast Castle.

Within its labyrinthine walls, strange occurrences unfold: fierce births and deaths beneath imposing ceilings; dreams and violence entwined with disenchantment. The intricate workings of this ancient world are shrouded in mystery, understood only by a select few.

A work of extraordinary imagination, Gormenghast is a place where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. This first novel sets the tone for a series that will appeal to readers with its unique blend of darkness and wonder.
