'In the heart of Malanada, where myth and memory entwine, The Guardian of the Mountain (Malayappuppan) by Veloor Biju (translated by Shiny Ajit) invites readers into a world shaped by ancient rituals, tribal guardians, and the enduring spirit of the land.Through the eyes of Suyodhu, a young seeker, the narrative journeys across sacred temples, ancestral legends, and the enigmatic figure of Malayappuppan -the protector whose story is both personal and universal. Richly woven with the rhythms of heritage, the novel

explores the complexities of good and evil, the power of tradition, and the quest for identity amid shifting landscapes. This is a tribute to those whose hearts beat in rhythm with the hills - a celebration of legacy, resilience, and the stories that bind us to our roots.
