In the summer of 2019, K. L. Bonifay reached a point where she needed an outlet, something to voice the scars upon her heart. She once had a dream of being a writer. Due to circumstance, she put down her pen, letting the dream die. Remembering how much she enjoyed being at home with a notebook scribbling down adventures made her think of writing.
K sat down to write her story. It was hard to find words for the things that hurt her or where to start. After watching the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe , she found her way to tell her story and the Howling Heart Saga was born. During the craziness of COVID, she mapped out her series.
Open Path is the first for many more to come from K. L. Bonifay. She hopes with publishing this book, she can show others what Faith and Prayer can lead you, and by using your God given talent, you can overcome any obstacle.
One Path is a layered fantasy that blends mythic storytelling with emotional depth. It is set in a realm where faith meets darkness.

The story is so intriguing; it doesn’t throw you into a war, but it brings you into the heart of a man who tries to hold himself through his healing journey. It’s rare to find a fantasy book that’s emotionally grounded.
If you are a fan of Tolkien but wish they had more emotional vulnerability, then you’ve got to have this book in your TBR. The way time runs in the book is so amazing; the intermingling of past and present is masterfully done. The series has potential.
