Synopsis

Full of treachery and intrigue, the fifth volume in Sergei Lukyanenko's internationally bestselling Night Watch series - a mesmerizing blend of noir and urban fantasy, set in contemporary Moscow, that tells the story of an ancient race of supernatural beings known as the Others.

For a millennium, the Others have maintained an uneasy peace that has protected them and the Twilight, their shadowy parallel world beneath our own. But the battle for supremacy between the forces of Light and the Darkness is far from over...

Older and more powerful, Light magician Anton Gorodetsky has risen to the top levels of the Night Watch. He is also father to a 10-year old girl who is destined to become a magician of unprecedented powers. When he hears a young boy at the airport screaming that a plane will crash, Anton suspects the child is a prophet - a rare type of Other who portends catastrophe.

If Anton is right, then the boy has awakened a terrifying danger - a rare multi-faced beastthat exists to stop the prophecy from coming true. With all their lives in mortal peril and time running out, Anton must find a way to keep his gifted young daughter safe... and save the Twilight world.
