The Saint of Bright Doors

Summary

Raised and trained by his mother to assassinate his father, a charismatic cult leader, Fetter instead drifts into the teeming city of Luriat, where mysterious bright doors open onto unknown places and he can see devils others cannot. Chandrasekera builds a strange and politically charged world that blends mythology, bureaucracy, and questions of belief and belonging. The novel resists easy classification as it explores fate, faith, and the violence of histories.
