Peter Wilson is nobody’s definition of a Hero. He has an imaginary friend called Gensing. He likes to sit on the beach at night reciting poetry and he’d rather read about fighting than engage in it.While his twin sister Josalynde is outgoing, athletic and although she goes through best friends almost as quickly as she goes through boyfriends, she’d at least have a chance of slaying a dragon, while Peter – well, he’d likely just sing about it.And how unfair is it that while Peter is being seduced by sirens, Josalynde is being pursued by their Grandmother, who since she’s been turned into a vampire, has never felt so good. Surely Josalynde has no choice but to stake her? Isn’t that what anyone would do in her situation? But as Josalynde discovers, there are many ways of being heroic and conquering someone doesn’t necessarily mean destroying them. .
