Quick Synopsis

In modern-day Moscow, humans live alongside a hidden group known as the "Others," who possess supernatural abilities. These Others are split into two opposing factions: the forces of light and the forces of darkness. Centuries ago, they agreed to a truce that ended a destructive war, establishing that the forces of light would oversee the day while the dark forces would rule the night. The dark Others take the form of vampires who roam the city after dark, and a group called the "Night Watch," made up of light Others including the protagonist Anton, works to monitor and control the dark forces to prevent them from causing harm.
