Upper middle-grade hopepunk blends the arts of Avatar: the Last Airbender with epic adventure & heart of Percy Jackson

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. There, Niil’s talent for enarii shaping emerges, and for the first time, he feels like he truly belongs.

But when he discovers that his mother is the leader of the Doubleyes, who is out to eliminate enarii altogether, he is faced with an impossible choice: to stop her or watch hundreds suffer at the hands of someone he'd do anything to reunite.

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.
