The Queen of Wands

By Dr. Gene L Edwards

When eighty-one-year-old Thomas Meinders arrives at a remote farmhouse at the end of a long dirt road, he believes he is chasing a rumor. Dying of pancreatic cancer and with little left to lose, Thomas has come in search of a woman said to perform miracles. Instead, he finds Duncan - a scarred, solitary man living quietly among animals, gardens, and memories too heavy for ordinary words.
Over the days that follow, Duncan tells Thomas an extraordinary story. He speaks of other realms, of war and betrayal, of immortal houses ruled by kings, queens, knights, and pages. At the center of it all is the Queen of Wands - a woman of immense compassion and power who abandoned immortality to walk within the Realm of Men, healing the sick, restoring life, and ultimately sacrificing herself for others.
As Thomas listens, his own understanding of life, death, and meaning begins to change. What begins as a search for healing becomes something far deeper: an exploration of sacrifice, love, grief, and what it truly means to live well when time is limited. Set against a quiet rural backdrop and infused with mythic undertones drawn from the Tarot, The Queen of Wands is a reflective, emotionally rich novel about choosing purpose over fear - and finding peace, even at the edge of mortality.
