Feastday Stories

The Feast Day of San Galileo brings a motley group of revelers to Kota Maynilad. During the fiesta, sheltered mage-in-training Otts meets Ynés, a feisty machinist's apprentice. As they while away the day together, they encounter the port city's bustling youth culture: punk rock minstrels; carefree kit-bashers who remix spells into mash-ups; sidewalk herbalists with their mind-expanding home-brewed potions; and "glamplayers" who use cantrips to take on the appearance of their favorite folk heroes. Along the way, this mismatched pair discover invaluable lessons about magick, science, 'adulting', and each other. A coming-of-age novelette set in a world of enchanted tech and Philippine alternative history. Recommended If You Like: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist transplanted to manapunk Southeast Asia
