She had only wanted to have a working marriage and a happy family. All of her efforts had been towards that goal. Despite that, her husband leaves her for another woman after the loss of her unborn child, and just as she starts to pick herself up, she dies in a car accident.

But this isn't the end of her story.

Her spirit is picked up by her brother. He happens to be a beginner god who needs help raising the hero who is supposed to save his fledgling world. Thinking he is offering her a long-sought-after opportunity to be a mother, she readily agrees, and he sends her down to his world with the gift of healing and a Methuselah grade body to aid her on her quest. She quickly finds her little boy and is overjoyed to have someone to love and baby at last. But this hero doesn't want her as his mother. He wants her as something else.

Suggested for ages 14+.

Raising a Hero

"Are you stupid? Just telling that random woman that you're a healer?"


"I think she'd understand my situation, being a healer herself." And if nothing else, I trusted priest Miurian to not let her in if he thought she'd go around turning me into the crown.


"Where the hell do you get off thinking that? Squealers ignore empathy or sympathy or whichever one it is."


Luckily Priest Miurian hired a carriage for us to go home, because despite the little healer's help, my head was still pounding and I was exhausted, both with healing and the little snippets Nehcor had slipped into the head. That being the case, I didn't have the energy to argue with Gus today, so I just pinched the throbbing bridge of my nose and tried to ignore him.
