Usually he works as a programmer at the Night Watch HQ but he is on his first field operation which is to track and stop a rogue vampire.Ī week of taking magical potions and drinking blood enable him to track the vampire as she ensnares her victim. Set in contemporary Moscow, the story follows the activities of a mid-level magician and somewhat averagely talented Night Watch agent named Anton. These rules are enforced by the Night Watch – Others that are agents of the Light – and the Day Watch – others who are agents of the Dark. These rules were agreed upon by both the Light and the Dark after the last great magical war which neither side could win. The activities of the Others go largely unnoticed by the general population due to the strict set of rules that govern their behaviour. Some beings such as vampires are naturally Dark but sorceresses and magicians have the choice of which side they will fall on, although it is often just down to fate - how they feel on a particular day, to which side they will choose. The Others can either be Dark, and do evil deeds or they can be Light, and pursue a selfless existence causing no harm to humans or Others. The humans are none the wiser that they are surrounded by the Others they can live and die without ever realising that they have been blessed or cursed by an Other. Imagine a world where vampires, shape-shifters, werewolves, healers and magicians live side-by-side with humanity. Note: This novel is titled “The Night Watch” for the UK market and “Nightwatch” for the US market.
