The Land of the Wand
Volume 1: Lost Myths Saga

by Debora Elizabeth Hill and Sandra Brandenburg



      Debora Elizabeth Hill and Sandra Brandenburg have begun a new fantasy series that is sure to collect legions of fans. The Land of the Wand is about four relative strangers: a rock star, a fantasy author, an architect, and a fast-food worker, who find themselves in a high-end gift shop, each examining an ornamental crystal wand. Touching the wand transports them into an alternative reality where the Daemona (demons) are the good guys and the Anjeles (angels) are the bad guys. The rock star is deemed to be the savior who will stop the ongoing war between the Daemona and the Anjeles. While the four strangers soon become fast friends and lovers, they also learn a lot about themselves and begin to love their new home, finding strengths, talents, and purpose.

Though this book is complete with no real hint of a sequel, readers familiar with Tarot cards may sense other books coming. The four Daemona kingdoms are called the Land of the Wand, Land of the Cup, Land of the Flame, and Land of the Pentacle. Since the book’s cover does say Volume 1 and this one is called The Land of the Wand, there probably will be at least four books, one for each kingdom. The question of the hour is: will the four main characters from this reality be in the next three books.

This book was fast-paced and lots of fun, turning myths and legends (even about unicorns and flying horses) on their ears. There was plenty of romance and courageous battles. Congratulations, Debora Elizabeth Hill and Sandra Brandenburg! You’ve offered the world a great new series.
