Walking the streets of Moscow, indistinguishable from the rest of its population, are The Others. Magicians capable of entering the Twilight, a shadowy world that exists in parallel to our own, each owes allegiance either to the Dark, or the Light. Three years have passed since the events of The Day Watch. Svetlana has left the Night Watch to raise her and Anton’s daughter Nadya, now a precocious two-year-old. With mother and daughter spending the summer on a dacha not far from Moscow, Anton is working on uneventfully, dreaming of a holiday, when his boss Gesser asks him in for a private meeting. Gesser has received an anonymous note, stating that an Other has revealed the full truth about their kind to a human, and now intends to do the impossible: convert that human into an Other.
