📖 SYNOPSIS & SELLING POINTS:

"A breathtaking fusion of mythology and modern-day struggle. The winner of the inaugural Epigram Books Fiction Prize."

Gatekeeper introduces us to Ria, a young woman with the power to turn living things into stone. Living in the hidden enclave of Manticore, she serves as its protector—a gatekeeper for those marginalized by the "normal" world above.

Nuraliah Norasid crafts a rich, immersive world where Greek mythology meets Malay folklore in a high-stakes story exploring the outsider's struggle, a fresh Southeast Asian take on the legend of Medusa, and the internal politics of a hidden community.

Why You Should Read This: A monumental work of Southeast Asian fantasy that challenges our perceptions of beauty, power, and humanity.

💬 WHAT READERS & CRITICS ARE SAYING:

"A remarkable feat of the imagination. Nuraliah has built a world that is as dangerous as it is beautiful." — The Straits Times
"Easily one of the best fantasy novels to come out of this region. Original, haunting, and deeply human." — Goodreads Reviewer
