A medieval, historical adventure in the Kingdom of Italia "Escape to Ponti is a rich, classically-influenced, well-researched, and multi-layered novel that never ceases to draw the reader in with its adventurous plots and intriguing studies in character. Every person in the story-the boys, the Knight, castle lords, peasants, bandits, and servants-are richly portrayed as both complex and archetypical, none completely good nor evil… An enjoyable, well-written, complex and timeless novel.
Highly Recommended"
