Martial HERO: AN ANTHOLOGY OF WUXIA AND XIANXIA STORIES
MARTIAL HERO:
A CHARITY ANTHOLOGY OF WUXIA AND XIANXIA STORIES
WUXIA STORIES FOR THE 21st CENTURY
Our anthology brings together Asian diaspora writers who are passionate about the Wuxia genre and are eager to create captivating stories that transport readers to a world of martial arts, adventure, and intrigue.
All profits from the anthology will be donated to the SRO Families Fund, which is run by the Chinatown Community Development Center (Chinatown CDC).
Together, we hope to make a positive impact on a small and often overlooked community.
WHAT IS MARTIAL HERO?
Martial Hero (the direct translation of “Wuxia”) gathers sixteen original tales spanning mist-wreathed mountain sects and heartbreaking duels between lovers, neon-drenched cyberpunk skylines where cultivators hack their bodies with cybernetic enhancements, classic martial realms, modern-day underworlds, and everything in between.
Righteous heroes. Wandering swords. Cunning rogues. Unrepentant villains. Martial arts masters who refuse to fade quietly into legend. All rendered by 16 friends who wanted to bring this project to life.
This is the full spectrum of the Jianghu from these writers of the Wulin.

is ever evolving.
