The eyes are the windows to the universe, if one knows how to look. For a select group of extraordinary children, this has never been more apparent.

Born into a world ravaged by war, Samuel Helen is among the first in a wave of "new youth" children who possess abnormally large eyes and breathtaking psychic abilities. But Samuel's powerful telekinesis cannot be managed by the team of scientists at General George Mabus's military facility. He finds his only solace in his sessions with his wise tutor, Walter, who introduces him to music and philosophy, and his cherished weekly visits with an ordinary orphan girl, Evelyn, in the neighboring village.

When a twist of fate sends Samuel and Evelyn into uncharted territory, Samuel is forced to confront dark shadows from his past in order to unlock the deepest wells of his psyche, even the universe itself, and discover deep spiritual truths while harnessing his abilities-and facing off with vengeful enemies.

He soon realizes that he is part of something much greater than he could have ever imagined . . .
