The Coven of the New Sun is a coven of warlocks featured in the book The Crimson Spell. They act adistinctionsmain antagonists in the story. There are four known members: Justin Morgan, Adrienne, Celeste Bailey, and Kenji Yamada, the last one pretending to be a warlock[1].
The coven members utilized a crystal as their power source, which served as a means for absorbing a witch's power while incinerating them and then sharing it with the rest of the coven. Before each attack, they would send an enchanted ribbon to their targets as "calling cards", which would alert their presence and at the same time reverse their powers' effects to weaken them.
History[]
In 1818, this coven went after the Warren ancestors, but supposedly failed.
The members in the late 20th century went after the Halliwell sisters by sending out agents to gain their trust (Kenji Yamada, Adrienne, and Celeste Bailey), study their powers, and then weaken them by making their powers work in opposite order. The coven was destroyed when Celeste tossed the coven's crystal into an urn of purifying flames, sparing only Celeste and Kenji; Celeste survived due to the newfound goodness in her heart, and Kenji wasn't a warlock to begin with.
Book of Shadows[]
There is an entry about the coven in the Book of Shadows. Though the content wasn't clear, the notes stated the 'new sun' referred to the source of power they called upon. The red ribbons they sent out were magic talismans of some kind. They were used as spells that the coven has put in place on their targets to disrupt their magic.
