Toshie the Hero and the Orbs of Destiny

A second life. A fantastical world. A truckload of trouble.

Toshie’s dead—and that’s just the start of her troubles. As a former bank teller from Pennsylvania, she’s in no way qualified to become the hero of a fantastical land. So when she wakes in Vara Elma and is tasked with saving a princess from a dragon, Toshie knows she’s in over her head.

Handed a sword and joined by a band of misfits, things go from bad to worse when one of her companions is slain by the dragon. A dragon Toshie soon discovers is the princess’s lover, not her captor.

Confronted with the possibility that Vara Elma doesn’t need heroes, Toshie is forced to question why she’s been given a second life at all. Questions that become all the more pressing when she meets other formerly dead people just like her. As Toshie gets into trouble well above her paygrade, she fears she’ll never get her answers—and that her second life will be shorter than her last.

Toshie the Hero and the Orbs of Destiny is the first exciting fantasy novel in the Toshie the Hero series. If you love isekai stories, witty banter, and a heaping dose of adventure, get transported into Toshie’s story!
