In Titus Awakes the 77th Earl of Groan leaves the crumbling castle of
Gormenghast and finds the larger world even stranger than his
birthplace. Confronted by elemental and human threats--snowstorms,
shipwrecks and attempts on his life--Titus' bravery is tested and he
must fight to free himself from the claims of his past.
Peake began this fourth and final volume of the Gormenghast stories but
died having only written a few pages. Using notes and the fragments he
left behind, his wife, the writer and painter Maeve Gilmore, has created
a richly imagined sequel that fans of The Gormenghast Trilogy will
delight in.
