Description: Two boys, worlds and centuries apart. In a time of magic, a penniless boy named Matyas runs away to the Academy of Wizards to pursue his dream - to discover the secret of flying. Along the way, he will become the greatest Master of his age, only to lose everything. In the modern day, Simon Wisdom struggles to hide his psychic abilities while his father Jack lives in fear that those powers will destroy his son. But nothing can stop Simon from hearing the cries of dead children pleading for his help. Matyas and Simon will never meet. But they are bound together, for only their combined strength can hope to overcome the monster that haunts existence itself - the Child Eater. -- taken from back cover.
