When young Evangeline runs away from her marriage to a carpenter to avenge her estranged father's death, she gets more than she bargained for in the shape of a murder mystery, a big handsome brother and a green-jeweled sword. When she finally unravels the truth, it will turn out to be stranger, funnier and more wonderful than she ever expected.
The "Sword Trick" is a twist on the old Grimm fairy tale "The Three Brother's" except it about a female protagonist, her sword and her adventure. It is a funny, fantasy, comedy romance at its best.
Candice Raquel Lee writes about love. She likes characters who grow, deep passion, and classic literary references.
She enjoys writing books that make people think, help broaden their horizons and make them see the world and other people in different ways. She likes creating smart books with depth and many layers.
Her first book to be published is the "Innocent." It is a story about many different kinds of love, between a man and a woman, between friends and even between a parent and a child. It explores the positive and negative aspects of love.
Candice is a passionate reader of classic love stories like "Jane Eyre," "Pride and Prejudice" and "Wuthering Heights." She also loves Medieval Romances like "Erec and Enide," "The Knight of the Cart," "The Knight with the Lion" and other good stuff like that. She is a big book nerd.
One of Candice's main characters in "The Innocent," Cristien La Roche is based on the heroes from Medieval Romances like those written by Chretien De Troyes (Yep, I used his name) and Marie De France with a little Mr. Rochester thrown in from "Jane Eyre."
She hopes you enjoy her books,that they make you laugh and cry. She hopes they make you believe that good, light, love or whatever you call the best in the world, will find a way to conquer that which is not.
