In Volume 2 of the classic Gormenghast Trilogy, a doomed lord, an emergent hero, and an array of bizarre creatures haunt the world of Gormenghast Castle. This trilogy, along with Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, reigns as one of the undisputed fantasy classics ever. At the center of everything is the 77th Earl, Titus Groan, who stands to inherit the miles of rambling stone and mortar that form Gormenghast Castle and its own kingdom. On this second volume, Titus comes old within the walls of Gormenghast Castle and discovers various family intrigues. His twin aunts, Cora and Clarice, have been imprisoned in their own apartments, believing that they alone among the castle inhabitants were free from a hideous disease known as "Weasel plague." Titus has discovered secret hiding places in abandoned parts of the castle that he can observe and find out, unobserved: for he has been "exiled" to grow up with the normal children until the age of 15. And so, not feeling connected to his future responsibilities, Titus drifts back and forth between the complicated social world he'll grow up to govern, and an environment of fantasy and daydream.
