Day Watch (2006)
The second chapter in the epic fantasy trilogy
A man who serves in the war between the forces of Light and Dark comes into possession of a device that can restore life to Moscow, which was nearly destroyed by an apocalyptic event.
In Day Watch, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “magical watchworld”. The story fights on E8/E11 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing power, authority, war, fate, prejudice.
