The Seven Wonders
Publisher: Mirari Press
Mirari Press | speculative fiction publisher
Seven stories of power, defiance, and wonder—where magic lingers, fate shifts, and witches rise.
The Seven Wonders is an anthology of witchcraft in its many incarnations: gothic, modern, and utterly strange. From rural South Africa to eerie academies, from hedge witches whispering secrets to forces that defy understanding, these seven tales explore the trials of power, the cost of magic, and the unbreakable bonds that tether witches to their craft.
In a world that has long feared and vilified witches, this collection reclaims them as heroines – figures of resistance, wisdom, and transformation. Whether through fire, foresight, or forbidden rites, each story unveils a different Wonder – some dark, some wondrous, all unforgettable.
Release date: July 2025
