The tale of The Bonds is a modern day yarn about a family that lives unnoticed within the household of humans. Standing inches high, the Bond's lineage traces back to a legendary time of magic and fairies: a time before the modernized day of man, the loss of their wings, and the great shrinking. Life for the Bonds is exciting yet tranquil, dangerous yet steadfast, fantastic, yet as down to earth as the ground they walk on and the insects that inhabit it. Seeing and experiencing the world as the Bonds do is as enriching as peering at the stars, sailing the oceans, or revisiting a childhood place.Set against a complimenting backdrop of science, the Bonds find themselves living in the home of scientists: one an inventor and the other an evironmentalist. The luxuries of technology and the awesome ability of magic create an unmistakable synergy within this very household. But problems arise when one of the scientist's new inventions is televised during a press conference, drawing unwanted notoriety and the threat of uninvited guests from the Bonds' world. As in any time of crisis, a family must stick together, for that is their greatest bond. Some things are easiest said than done, but like the old adage goes,"good things come in tiny packages," that stands true of The Bonds.
