Synopsis

The third novel in Sergei Lukyanenko's Watch series returns to Anton Gorodetsky, a Light magician of Moscow's Night Watch, now married to Svetlana and father to a daughter whose potential as an Other has no known limit. The book is made up of three linked novellas, all narrated by Anton: Nobody's Time, Nobody's Space and Nobody's Power.

Warning letters point to a human who wants to become an Other, and the search leads to Fuaran, a legendary spell that could change what Others are and how many of them there are.

Light and Dark Watches, the Inquisition and Anton's own family are all drawn into the fight over who controls it, and Anton has to decide what he will risk to keep the Twilight from being broken open. Originally published in Russian as Sumerechny Dozor, and translated into English by Andrew Bromfield.
