Sergei Lukyanenko - Night Watch 01 - The Nightwatch (epub, html, mobi)
Walking the streets of Moscow, indistinguishable from the rest of its
population, are The Others. The Others are magicians, possessors of
supernatural powers and capable of entering the Twilight, a shadowy world
that exists in parallel to our own, each Other owes allegiance either to
the Dark or the Light. The two factions, having long before realised that
open struggle can only create chaos and disaster, coexist in an uneasy
truce, each side aware of, and keeping a close eye on, the other's
activities around the city. Their aim is not mutual destruction, but
rather the maintenance of the precarious balance between good and evil.
Anton, a young Other, who owes allegiance to the Light, is a Night Watch
agent, newly seconded to patrol the streets and metro of the city, to
protect ordinary people from the vampires and magicians of the Dark.
On his rounds, Anton comes across a young woman, Svetlana, who he realises
is under a powerful curse that threatens the entire city, and a boy, Egor,
a young Other, as yet unaware of his own enormous power, whom Anton narrowly
saves from vampires. Anton is assigned a partner, Olga, a powerful female
Other who is trapped in the form of an owl in punishment for a past error
of judgement. Together with their colleagues in the Night Watch, they
struggle to remove Svetlana's curse and to protect Egor from the vampires
that pursue him. Set in a vividly realised post-Soviet Russia, where
vampires operate under license and Good and Evil exist in a Cold War-like
balance of power, "The Night Watch" is a page-turning fantasy thriller,
an international bestseller that represents the most original writing in
its genre since Anne Rice's "An Interview With a Vampire"...

The second book in the internationally bestselling fantasy series, Day
Watch begins where Night Watch left off, set in a modern-day Moscow where
the 1,000-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. When a very potent
artifact is stolen from them, the consequences are dire and drastic for
all sides. Day Watch introduces the perspective of the Dark Ones, as it
is told in part by a young witch who bolsters her evil power by leeching
fear from children's nightmares as a counselor at a girls' summer camp.
When she falls in love with a handsome young Light One, the balance is
threatened and a death must be avenged.
Day Watch is replete with the thrilling action and intricate plotting
of the first tale, fuelled by cunning, cruelty, violence, and magic.
It is a fast paced, darkly humorous, haunting world that will take root
in the shadows of your mind and live there forever.
