Gormenghast is a vast ancient castle perched on a hill above a nearly dilapidated village, surrounded by dark forests and mist. The inhabitants live in near-total isolation from the outside world, destined to adhere forever to the rigid rules and rituals of a long-gone era. When the youngest scion and last lord of a dynasty is born, the kitchen boy Steerpike manages to escape unnoticed from the cavernous kitchens. Driven by an insatiable desire for power, he exploits the weaknesses and passions of the castle's residents to gain the trust of the ruling family. His ruthless ambition knows no bounds.
