Book Blurb:
Damien Crown devotes his life to being his brother's
superman. Like all heroes, he's locked in a deadly war with a formidable
foe—his brother's depression. Instead of perishing in a climactic battle as
comics suggest, he dies at the screech of tires and the blare of a car horn.
But in those last precious moments, he regrets not taking off the cape and
living his own life.
But those regrets don't last long when Death becomes his
life-coach.
Given a new body and one more year to live, Damien seizes
the opportunity to reinvent himself. Forbidden by Death from making contact
with his old family, he knows the trek will be hard, but he's happy to leave
behind the pressures of his old life.
Until his brother attempts suicide.
Now, the only way to save his brother is to break Death's
rules. But with a life any kid would kill for, Damien finds himself stuck between
who he was, and who he wants to be. He can don his cape and die for his
brother, or hang it up and finally live for himself.
