Publisher’s synopsis of *The Gatekeeper*: “When young medusa Ria
inadvertently turns an entire village to stone, she and her older sister
flee to Nelroote, an underground settlement populated by other non-humans
also marginalised by society. There she becomes their gatekeeper, hoping to
seek redemption and love…until her friendship with a man from above
threatens to dismantle the city she swore to protect.”
