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

I received back a letter within a day. I guess mail systems work differently for nobility, or at least someone as high up as heir to the duke. He told me it would take a bit of time to set up everything, but that he would send a carriage to pick us up within a month. The ink seemed to smear in some places, as though he had been a bit rushed in writing this. I hoped he wasn't overworked for whatever reason.


I didn't ask why Gus wasn't more excited about getting an upgrade in the world. I think the reason was obvious. Didn't mean I agreed with his reasoning or thought he wasn't stupid. But I'd like to think I was learning by not getting involved with his moodiness, teenage sprung or otherwise.


The regulars somehow heard through the either and were appalled. 


"You can't become a duke's wife, Lil', what would we do without you?" said the older man with the three daughters.


"I don't know, get your own booze from the bar," I said dryly.
