T.S. Lowe

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

Unfortunately, my guards hadn't gone far.


"Back in," they even lowered their spears. I'd only made it beyond the back of the wagon, which had rewarded me with the view of more covered wagons huddled together between two cliffs footed by gravely slopes.


But they just jutted their spears forward. I got the feeling they had been warned ahead of time not to touch me, should I send my magic to break them.


I considered trying anyway, if only for a moment, because when I tried to reach out my magic across the space between us, it only made my hands glow and the guards rush close enough to put the spear tips against my belly.


Thus, I ended up back in the wagon, frustrated enough to start biting my hands. I either hadn't healed enough to push my magic over distance or I needed a near-death situation to fuel it.
