The Night Watch series has caused a sensation never before seen in Russia - its popularity is frenzied and unprecedented, and driven by a truly great, epic story. When a mid-level Night Watch agent named Anton stumbles upon a cursed young woman – an uninitiated Other with magnificent potential – both sides prepare for a battle that could lay waste to the entire city, possible the world. The Night Watch (Watch, Book 1) Paperback Bargain Price, July 26, 2006. For a thousand years both sides have maintained a precarious balance of power, but an ancient prophecy has decreed that a supreme Other will one day emerge, threatening to tip the scales. The agents of the Dark – the Night Watch – oversee nocturnal activity, while the agents of the Light keep watch over the day. This epic saga chronicles the eternal war of the “Others,” an ancient race of humans with supernatural powers who must swear allegiance to either the Dark or the Light. Set in contemporary Moscow, where shape shifters, vampires, and street-sorcerers linger in the shadows, Night Watch is the first book of the hyper-imaginative fantasy pentalogy from best-selling Russian author Sergei Lukyanenko.
