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

At Roman's office, I got the 'enter' from inside just as the mother of all yawns hit me, so as I walked inside I didn't see the other occupants until the expelling of excess carbon dioxide had completed. When I did, I froze, a hand still on the doorknob.


Roman had visitors. An older man with salt and pepper hair who looked suspiciously like an older version of Roman and a younger with bright blond that had the same unrealistically bright green eyes. 


Roman was standing by his desk, looking rather put together for bright and early at the butt crack of dawn. 


"Ah, just in time," he said, gesturing to me. "Lillian, I have two people here who want to meet you. Say hello to my father and younger brother."


Nobles. Nobles. Damn it, I never learned how to curtsy. Ulyssia told me you had to curtsy, but she only gave me brief lessons on how a servant should, not how a lady--wait, it was a bow, yes. Wait, I can! Yes!
