Rachel Wilde comes from a dimension that exists adjacent to ours. The people there have structured their society around daemon collecting: they locate, catch, and repair malfunctioning daemons (creatures out of phase with our world that tempt people to do good or evil). Now Rachel has been given two unusual assignments: 1) find a person who has been trying to break down dimensional barriers, and 2) track down a missing line of gatekeepers, human placeholders for a daemon that was too badly damaged to repair. Authorities of Rachel’s world believe the missing gatekeepers are descended from a girl who went missing from West Africa hundreds of years ago, likely sold into slavery. With no leads to go on, Rachel seeks help from Bach, a raving homeless man who happens to be an oracle. Bach does put her in the path of both of her targets—but he also lands her in a life-threatening situation. Somehow, Rachel has to stop the criminal, reunite a gatekeeper with her stolen past, and, above all, survive.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. -Timely themes: Intolerance of differences has become widespread in the US in recent years. Gatekeeper encourages readers to look beyond what they consider normal and see through foreign eyes, a message that will appeal to many in today's political climate.-Strong yet relatable female lead: Many fantasy books rely on female characters who convey strength only by being excessively powerful or physically capable. This book features female characters who are strong but flawed, making them more relatable.-Huge target market: Fantasy lovers, this book's target audience, are voracious readers, and book series/TV shows like Game of Thrones have recently led fantasy to gain more mainstream appeal.-Cross-genre appeal: This book is fantasy but it stays rooted in everyday life, giving it a feel of magical realism. It also includes elements of science fiction that make it less fantastical and will broaden its audience. Rachel Wilde-sent from another dimension to bring defective daemons in for repair-needs to locate two people: a woman whose ancestors held a destructive daemon at bay and a criminal trying to break dimensional barriers. Helped by a homeless man with unusual powers, she uncovers a rising shadow organization that's changing her world forever.
