Сергей Лукьяненко & Владимир Васильев · 6 novels · 1998–2014
Sergei Lukyanenko's Watch novels are set among the Others, humans with supernatural gifts who split into the Night Watch, policing dark forces, and the Day Watch, policing the light ones, under a truce that keeps their ancient war frozen in an uneasy bureaucratic peace. Each book follows the Night Watch magician Anton Gorodetsky through a case that keeps threatening to unbalance that truce for good. Starting in Moscow, the series expands across six novels into other cities and a wider view of how the truce actually works.
