When Niil Terra sets off to find his missing parents, he ends up in Caput Mundi, a dazzling place filled with flourishing innovation and alchemic wonders. It is also the home of enarii, a shape-shifting metal that can be willed into any shape, whether it be swords, forks or fly swatters. As Niil's talent for shaping enarii emerges, he discovers something he's never had before: a place where he belongs.

But when secrets about enarii-and Niil's parents-begin to surface, he is faced with an impossible choice that could cost far more than he's prepared to lose.

Caput Mundi, the Head of the World is an upper middle grade adventure fantasy with a touch of hopepunk. At its core, this is an adventure story filled with action, mystery, and well-deserved butt kicking. But it's also about perseverance, and what it means to stand up for what's right. It's about finding your voice, taking your power back, and holding onto who you are. No matter what the world throws at you.
