Feed her sons and escape the slums through supernatural commerce.
Sarah scavenges daily to keep her four boys alive until one drags home Lily, a tiny girl from the mire who conjures steaming feasts and glittering coin from thin air. That impossible largesse becomes the seed capital for a merchants' guild, letting Sarah undercut a predatory neighbor and outmaneuver a venal lord. With supernatural supply lines securing every deal, the family trades their hovel for a stone stronghold, rewriting their future from gutter survival to landed power.
