Kandide Synopsis
There exists in the ether of reality, a world in parallel with our own...
Magic Is normal. Sunsets last for hours. And abundance is in abundance.
But this is not the faeryland of your childhood, not with noble characters or happily-ever-after endings. Incredibly relevant today, Kandide is a fantasy-based mirror for our own judgmental society where life and death are rigorously determined by long-held beliefs of prejudice. And where the established order of societal elitism teeters on the edge of destruction. Welcome to Calabiyau. A Perfect world. That's the catch... Physical perfection is more than desire. It's the Law! Removal is the penalty. Betrayal is the game. Four separatists kingdoms are on the brink of war. Their survival depends upon a Kandide, an exiled "Imperfect" young Queen who is the keeper of the "Gift," a fragile spell with the power of life and death. It would seem she is invulnerable. Lady Aron, a brilliant power-mad Sorceress, knows she is not. Bigotry and hate are her weapons. Magic is her means. Absolute power is her obsession. Kandide's siblings are her bait. The world is at stake. Survival is the prize. |
