Rekindle your magic. Rewrite the myth.
In Coven of the East, twenty-two writers from across the Asian diaspora come together to reclaim, reimagine, and resurrect the magical traditions often erased from mainstream narratives. Through short stories and essays, these contributors explore the intimate ways mysticism, folklore, and ancestral wisdom shape their characters' lives - and their own.
Magic isn't just in myths. It lives in the networks of nature and in our histories. When we reveal our power in stories and in our daily lives, we are able to reclaim it. Magic and wisdom are our birthrights.
Structured as a Heroine's Journey through the major arcana, this genre-bending anthology celebrates the complexity of Asian diaspora feminine power. The voices within are playful, fierce, reverent, and wild. Whether rooted in family rituals or fantasy realms, each piece answers a shared call: to remember and reshape what magic means, and to honor the legacies of women who wrote, led, healed, and resisted.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Diaspora storytelling and cultural reclamation
- Folklore, tarot, and myth-infused narratives
- Intersectional feminist anthologies
