Harvard alum and Korean-American author B.R. Kang is releasing “Caput Mundi: The Head of the World: Book 1: Enarii”, a fantasy debut set in an alternate Ancient Rome, with just enough familiarity to parallel modern-day America.

Underpinned with a deep sense of hope, “Caput Mundi: The Head of the World” will inspire readers to step into their own power. 

When Niil Terra sets off to find his missing parents, he ends up in Caput Mundi, a dazzling world filled with flourishing innovation and alchemic wonders. It is also the home of enarii, a shape-shifting metal that can be willed into any form, 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, 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.

A richly imagined world coupled with fast-paced action, mystery, and a bit of butt-kicking. Caput Mundi will enthrall young readers with a powerful central message about finding your voice, taking your power back, and holding onto who you are. No matter what the world throws at you.
