Caput Mundi: The Head of the World (Enarii) (Caput Mundi, #1)

When Niil Terra sets off to find his missing parents, he ends up in Caput Mundi, the dazzling Empire where innovation flourishes and alchemic wonders fill the streets. It is also the home of enarii, a shape-shifting metal that can be willed into anything—swords, forks, even fly swatters. Anything you can imagine, if you have the talent.



And Niil, it turns out, has talent like no one else.



For the first time in his life, he has friends, a future, and a place where he belongs.

But secrets about enarii—and about his parents—begin to surface, and Niil must choose between the belonging he's always dreamed of and a truth that could cost him everything.

Caput Mundi: The Head of the World is a hopepunk middle grade fantasy adventure for ages 9–12 about friendship, courage, and refusing to look away.
