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.

Raising a Hero

I looked hard at Gus, trying to get a read on him. His words and posture were teasing and lackadaisical, but for some reason the way he looked at me seemed anything but. 


"Could you not make me sound as shallow as a puddle?" I said.


"If you were anywhere close to being that shallow, you'd have married the Duke by now."


"Ugh, tch, why are you talking to me about this? You and Nehcor both, it's like you're both trying to get me married."


"Because that would fix ALL of your problems! And if Nehcor nagged you to get married, why didn't you? He's freaking GOD."


"He didn't tell me to get married, he just...encouraged it."
