Day Watch

Day Watch begins where Night Watch left off, set in a modern-day Moscow where the 1000-year-old treaty between Light and Dark maintains its uneasy balance through careful vigilance from the Others. The forces of darkness keep an eye during the day, the Day Watch, while the agents of Light monitor the nighttime. Very senior Others called the Inquisitors are the impartial judges insisting on the essential compact, and in this installment a very potent artifact is stolen from them, with consequences dire and drastic for all sides. Day Watch introduces the perspective of the Dark Ones, as it is told by a young witch who bolsters her evil power by leeching fear from childrenrs" s nightmares as a counselor at a girls summer camp. In this world, where every individual gets to chose sides, the appeal of darkness lies in its emphasis on individualism, survival of the fittest, and personal freedom, rather than the more " great good" focus of the Light. But the balance must be kept, and the destructive, depraved power of darkness seems to be swelling . . . Those on the side of Light are trying frantically to bolster their side with the ascendancy of some great wizards-- there is an earth-shattering power struggle imminent between the two sides, with the foot soldiers for each kept ignorant while their leaders use them as pawns. Love-- on both sides of the equation is incalculably important, and potentially deadly. Day Watch is replete with the thrilling action and intricate plotting of the first tale, while the haunting creatures that people this world respond the way any normal vampire, werewolf, shape shifter, or Other would, with cunning, cruelty, violence and magic. It is a fast paced, darkly humorous, creepy haunting world that will take root in the shadows of your mind and live there forever . . .
