Bontella - Tapa blanda

In a wondrous world of many races and extraordinary creatures, one obscure village of an unknown and peaceful people becomes the center of the holiest of adventures. The villagers of Bontella, at first filled with suspicion and doubt, come to accept their calling and send two young volunteers, Theerus and Casmers, into the beautiful and mystical forest of Shea to find three divine gifts. The boys depart the only home they’ve ever known filled with hope and confidence, convinced that their divine mission will be an easy path to the hearts of the girls they love. It takes them very little time to find that their adventure will be filled with trials beyond their imagination. Both encounter memorable creatures and powerful enemies and find that their world is neither as hospitable nor as peaceful as they’d hoped. Their journey takes them to mesmerizing places and tests their hearts and spirits. It is an adventure that becomes legend to generations of Bontellions to come.

Greg Bonfa started writing Bontella when he was about ten. His friend, Chris Will, was there when Greg took out his old typewriter and punched the keys in an effort to flesh out his idea for the first time. After having worked on it off and on for many years, he asked his old friend if he would join him on the final draft of the fantasy novel. Bontella was published around the time Greg earned his Ph.D. in Linguistics. Born in Southern California, where he still lives, Greg always found writing his greatest escape.Christopher Will lives with his family in the Washington D.C. area, far from his boyhood home on the West Coast where he and Greg shared so many wonderful adventures of their own. His contribution to the story of Casmers and Theerus is as much a testament to the timelessness of friendship as it is a labor of love.
