Fantasy series. Boy leaves his family to travel with someone (possibly a master), because it is discovered that he has a special, rare ability to see through the eyes of living beings & control their thoughts. Goal is to defeat a demon king.

[King]

I read this book about 5-6 years ago, it is part of a trilogy, the main MC was discovered to have a rare possibly extinct ability, which was being able to see through other living beings eyes(something similar to a warg in GoT), so someone took him on a journey to control and learn his ability, in the later books he masters the ability and he can even control the thoughts of his target, there is also some romance involved with a girl he meets on the way. The main goal for the MC was to defeat a demon king that was sealed for a long time(I think he was called Abaddon), which he manages to do at the end of the last book but it comes at a price, he becomes blind.

Description of his ability:
He can see through the eyes of living beings, and control their thoughts, depending on the willpower of the person they can resist it.
Weakness of his ability is that if the person who he is currently "seeing through" dies he loses his eyesight.

[King]

another thing I remember is that he was travelling in a boat for a quite a while.
