Other people. They are here with us. Watching.
Night Watch is the first novel in the wildly inventive fantasy pentalogy written by best-selling Russian author Sergei Lukyanenko. It is set in modern-day Moscow, where vampires, shape-shifters, and street-sorcerers lurk in the shadows.
This epic tale tells the story of the never-ending conflict between the "Others," a prehistoric race of people endowed with superhuman abilities who are forced to choose between the Light and the Dark. While the agents of the Light guard the day, the agents of the Dark, known as the Night Watch, supervise activities that take place throughout the night. Both sides have maintained a tenuous balance of power for a millennium, but an old prophesy states that one day a supreme Other would appear and threaten to swing the balances. That day has finally come. Both sides are ready for a fight that might destroy the whole city and even the entire globe until a mid-level Night Watch agent called Anton stumbles across a cursed young lady who is an uninitiated Other with incredible potential. A scary, cutting-edge thriller, Night Watch is a pulse-pounding trip of fusion fiction that will leave you breathless for the next installment. It has vocabulary that throbs like darkly funny hard-rock songs about blood and power, freedom and responsibility.
