A FRIGHTENING NEW DANGER
ARISES TO THREATEN THE TWILIGHT....
For a millenium, the Others have maintained an uneasy peace that has protected them and the Twilight, a shadowy parallel world beneath our own. But the battle for supremacy between the forces of the Light and the Darkness is far from over....
Now older and more powerful, Light magician Anton Gorodstsky has risen to the top levels of the Night Watch. He is also father to a ten-year-old girl who is destined to become a magician of unprecendented power. When he hears a youg boy at the airport screaming that a plane will crash, Anton suspects the child is a prophet - a rare type of Other who portends catastrophe.
If Anton is right, then the boy has awakened a terrifying danger - a rare, multifaced beast that exists to stop the prophecy from coming true. With their lives in mortal peril and time running out, Anton must find a way to keep his gifted young daughter safe... and save the Twilight itself.
