New fantasy audiobook Caput Mundi: The Head of the World is available now from Harvard alum and Korean-American author B.R. Kang

This square book cover, with a graphic novel illustration style, features a dark-skinned child with curly black hair, wearing a grey t-shirt, who is pointing two fingers, making a peace sign gesture, towards a dense, starry night sky. The background is a mix of swirling clouds of deep blues, pale whites, and electric turquoises, under a night sky with white dots, which might be tiny stars or snow, and larger white specks. Black, organic, wave-like shapes frame the image like tentacles of smoke or ink. Large white, serif text reads at the top center: B.R. KANG (smaller font), CAPUT (large font), MUNDI (large font), and below that: The Head of the World (smaller font). At the bottom center, in the same font style, it reads: BOOK I: ENARII. The overall style is illustrative and fantastical, with a sense of wonder and cosmic scale.

Review: Nightshade, Catalina Series, Book 1, by Michael Connelly, performed by Will Damron

The image shows the audiobook cover for Nicole Conn's Descending Thirds. Three people are depicted against a warm, elegant backdrop that looks like a grand music room or concert hall with pillars and soft lighting. On the left is a man with short, styled blonde hair wearing a white collared shirt. In the center is a woman with long, wavy reddish-brown hair tied back, wearing a sleeveless gold or champagne-colored dress; she is seated at a piano. On the right is a man with long, dark curly hair dressed in a black tuxedo with a white ruffled shirt and bow tie. A metronome is visible on the far left, and a quill pen rests on the piano in the foreground. Musical notes and staff lines drift across the upper portion of the image behind the cursive title. At the bottom, text indicates the book is narrated by Mary Jane Wells, features original music by Sally Bishop Melbourne, and is a multi-award general fiction winner.

Review: Descending Thirds by Nicole Conn, narrated by Mary Jane Wells

The book cover for "Everwoven: A Memoir. A Reckoning." by Megan Margherio features a warm, sepia-toned illustration of two ethereal, winged women facing each other. Their hands are joined, and a glowing golden thread weaves between their chests and down to their feet, where it merges with a complex root system. The title is written in a graceful, white cursive script at the top, while the author's name appears in a clean serif font at the bottom. The overall aesthetic is mystical and symmetrical, centered around a soft, radiant light that suggests a deep, spiritual connection or a shared history.
