About This Item
Harper Paperbacks, 2014. New Book. Paperback. 432 pp.
The third book in the internationally bestselling Night Watch series.
Set in contemporary Moscow, the Night Watch series tells the story of the Others, an ancient race of magicians, shape-shifters, vampires, and other supernatural beings that live among us, and swear allegiance to either the powers of Darkness, or the forces of Light. For the past 1000 years, the two sides have been locked in an uneasy truce, keeping their powers in balance as each side secretly plots to take the advantage for themselves.
Twilight Watch returns to the perspective of Anton Gorodetsky, now married, with a daughter who has limitless potential as a Light Other, and an important destiny. When an ancient book of spells with the power to turn ordinary humans into Others, permanently destroying the balance between Light and Darkness, falls into the wrong hands, Anton and the Night Watch must join forces with the Day Watch to find the culprit and prevent total war. As Anton gets closer to discovering the true nature of the Others, he begins to question how good the Light Others truly are, and how similar to the Dark Others they may be after all.

Synopsis
Translated by Andrew BromfieldNight Watch and Day Watch, the first two books in this remarkable series, established Sergei Lukyanenko as a breathtakingly bold talent. Part fantasy, part vampire story, and part detective potboiler, this is the most successful science fiction series of all time in Russia and a true international sensation. In America, Fox Searchlight released the film adaptation of Night Watch to rapturous reviews, and adaptations of the next two books are in production.The world of Lukyanenko is as elaborate and imaginative as Tolkien or the best Asimov: Living among us are the "Others," an ancient race of humans with supernatural powers who swear allegiance to either the Dark or the Light. A thousand-year treaty has maintained the balance of power, and the two sides coexist in an uneasy truce.In Twilight Watch, the Others face their greatest threat yet. A renegade Other, his identity as yet unknown, has absconded with a fabled spell-book of untold power and appears bent on attacking the entire earth. Now forces of the Light and the Dark -- the Night Watch and the Day Watch -- must cooperate to stop him. Anton, the hero from Night Watch, is back, but when the culprit turns out to be none other than his partner, the race against time becomes more urgent than ever. In a world where reality and magic commingle, and where different degrees of existence are layered one atop the other, nothing is ever quite what it seems.
