Gormenghast

 ''I can't feel anything. I've gone dead. Even you are dead in me. I know I love you. You're the only one I love, but I can't feel anything and I don't want to. I've felt too much, I'm sick of feelings...I'm frightened of them.''

This is the continuation of a tale of shadows and fleeting lights in dusty corners. Of a man moving in the deepest darkness beneath the Stones of Gormenghast, the eternal. Of an enemy who wishes to overthrow the status quo, ruthless and calculating. An enemy without heart or consciousness. Of a young Earl who wants to be himself and create an identity of his own. Of a daughter who feels too deeply, innocently and bitterly.

The conclusion to Steerpike's story, the rebel of Gormenghast.

''Try and understand; for I love you as the shadows love the castle.''
