Become: To Catch the Lightning - Become, #1

He could become a god. He could just burn to death. Son of a mortal king and the earth Goddess, Gaian has known since he was ten that it was possible for him to Become a god, too. The catch is that he'll have to die-by burning-first. He's not quite ready to try that yet, especially since fire is the one thing he's afraid of. He was raised to be a warrior. His father wants him to be the next king, if only to keep him from thinking about Becoming.
Neither feels right. There must another purpose for his more-than-human strength. The Goddess must have had a reason for giving him that gift. When he meets Mariel, Gaian is willing to put all thoughts of being a king, a warrior-or even Becoming a god-aside. Little does he suspect that family may be the one thing worth burning for. Inspired by the legend of Hercules.
