📝 SYNOPSIS:

"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 of:

• The Outsider's Struggle: The search for belonging in a world that fears difference.

• Mythological Reimagining: A fresh, Southeast Asian take on the legend of Medusa.

• Secrets and Power: The internal politics of a hidden community and the cost of maintaining its safety.

Winner of the Singapore Literature Prize and the inaugural Epigram Books Fiction Prize, Gatekeeper is a monumental work of Southeast Asian fantasy that challenges our perceptions of beauty, power, and humanity.
