This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Boy and The Darkness (Мальчик и тьма, Mal'chik i t'ma) is a fantasy novel written by the popular Russian science fiction author Sergey Lukyanenko. The book is about a young boy named Danny who encounters a strange creature calling itself the Sunny Kitten. The Kitten opens a doorway to another world, a world covered in eternal darkness because its people sold their light to merchants from yet another world for amenities of modern civilization (they appear to have been stuck in Medieval Stasis). The humans are in an undeclared war with creatures of the Darkness known as the Flyings, many of whom are former humans who have made a Deal with the Devil to be able to fly in return for their souls. The only ones who can fight them are teenagers known as Wingers who are wearing symbiotic wings that allow them to take to the skies and fly on air currents. Adults are too heavy to be lifted by the wings. There is an understanding of sorts between the Flyings and the Wingers: the Wingers do not conduct massed attacks on the Dark towers, and the Flyings do not raze human cities with a napalm-like substance. It is up to Danny to change the status quo in this world, but he will have to pay the price of growing up to do that. |
