Born and brought to the edge of manhood in the huge, rotting castle, Titus rebels against the age-old ritual of which he is both lord and prisoner and rushes headlong into the world. From that moment forward, he is thrust into a stormy land of a dark imagination, where figures and landscapes loom up with the force and vividness of a dreamâ??or a nightmare. This final installment in the Gormenghast Trilogy is a fantastic triumphâ??a conquest awash in imagination, terror, and charm.

Lejos del colosal castillo de Gormenghast, libre de la opresión del ritual y de la locura y el temor que gobernaron su infancia, Titus despierta a la madurez errando por el mundo de extramuros, un mundo moderno y arcaico a la vez, que nada tiene que ver con su universo conocido, y donde jamás se ha oÃdo hablar de su estirpe. Perdido e incomprendido, llegará a dudar de la existencia de su propio hogar, hasta tal punto que acabará anhelando regresar para probar que la suya no es una vida soñada.
