It is then revealed that his son is a potential Other for whom Gesser claims the right to initiate. The four confront Gesser about making the promise to turn his son into an Other, but Gesser denies even knowing his son was alive. Anton discovers that the human is a 60-year-old businessman, the son of Gesser. Vampire Kostya Saushkin from the Day Watch has also been assigned to the case, along with Edgar and Vitezislav from the Inquisition. However, as far as the Others are concerned this is impossible and as such, the Light Other is in danger because refusal to fulfill this human's request means that he or she will dematerialise in the Twilight.Īnton is assigned the case and goes to the Assol, a rich district in Moscow where the letters came from.
In the letters, a powerful Great Light Other promises a human that they will turn him into an 'Other', which the human deeply desires. The book is separated into three novellas:Īnton Gorodetsky is assigned by Gesser to investigate mysterious warning letters sent to both the Watches and the Inquisition. Both sides answer to the Inquisition-an organization which ensures that neither of the two sides become too powerful. Light Others created Night Watch, to ensure that the Dark Others wouldn't break the Treaty while Dark Others created Day Watch, to watch the Light Others as well. In the end, both sides signed a Great Treaty - a set of laws which would govern them and the use of powers. A long time ago, the Light and Dark others fought a fierce battle in which neither side could win. Others are made up of two distinct groups - the Light Others and Dark Others. As long as they are in the Twilight, Others are drained of their life essence and may be consumed if they remain in it for too long. They are humans who can enter the Twilight, a shadowy world that exists alongside our real world, and gain unnatural powers from it. The entire novel is written in the past tense.Īmong us live the Others.
Events in each of the prologues are written in a third person narrative and take place entirely outside of Gordetsky's presence. Except for the prologues, the events of each story are written in a first person narrative using the voice of the Light Magician character Anton Gorodetsky, a member of Night Watch. Each story begins with a prologue followed by seven numbered chapters and concluding with an Epilogue. Twilight Watch is divided into three stories- Nobody's Time, Nobody's Space, and Nobody's Power. Lukyanenko returns to a structure closer to that he used in the Night Watch novel than the Day Watch novel. It is the sequel to Night Watch and Day Watch and the third part of a saga that continues with Last Watch and New Watch and concludes with Sixth Watch. Twilight Watch ( Russian: «Сумеречный Дозор», also known as Dusk Watch) is a fantasy novel by Russian writer Sergey Lukyanenko published in 2004.
