KINGDOMS OF MU

Auckland Author Surprised by Huge Support - A bold new fantasy universe inspired by Māori and Pacific storytelling is officially arriving this week as the five-book series Kingdoms of Mu launches to readers across New Zealand and Australia.

The day I received my copies of Kingdom of Mu, I told myself I’d just read a few pages on my work break. That “few pages” quickly turned into the first couple of chapters, and before I knew it, I had been completely transported into a vivid new world. Mu is a land layered with mystery, power, wealth, survival, and ambition—where villages rely not only on strength, but on unique skills and carefully balanced alliances to endure and conquer.

In a world where fantasy books often live solely on the page, Kingdoms of Mu by Cam Swainson-Whaanga dares to reimagine how stories can be experienced. This five-book epic, deeply inspired by the Pacific’s ancestral wisdom and storytelling traditions, takes immersion a step further—by embedding QR codes directly into its covers and illustrations.

Kingdoms of Mu Fantasy Book series, announced its presence to the world with the video promoting and explaining the series premise and introducing many of the characters that come to life in the fantasy novel series via QR codes.

Kingdoms of Mu is an epic five-book fantasy series that reimagines the ancient Pacific as the stage for sweeping battles, hidden prophecies, and unforgettable heroes.
