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 didn't miss the way Gus's eyes jumped between Roman and I on entering the tent, or the brief chill I got at the way they settled on Roman. Roman, thankfully fully dressed now in a shirt and pants, met his gaze head on, even when they glowed a faint dark pink. 


But Gus's eyes soon dimmed and he settled himself backwards on the only other chair in the room. He rested his arms on the back of it as though nothing had happened. He even gave a cock of one side of his mouth.


"You called me at this late hour, General Sir? See you not that I be in my pjs?"


Pants and a shirt hardly counted as pjs, but since every other time I'd seen the two they'd been decked out in full armor I guess it would be so.


"I'm in a good mood, so I'll ignore the disrespect this time."


"You've had the better part of the day to figure out about the insurrection, yet you haven't reported it."
