Books like The Day Watch by Sergeĭ Lukʹi͡anenko
After the events of "Night Watch," the second book of the bestselling series follows the fragile equilibrium maintained by the Day Watch of Dark Others and the Night Watch of Light Others in modern Moscow. A 1,000‑year‑old treaty keeps the forces of Light and Dark in check, with the impartial Inquisitors overseeing compliance. When a potent artifact is stolen, the consequences for both sides become dire. The story is partly narrated through a young witch who strengthens her power by drawing upon children’s nightmares, a counselor at a girls’ summer camp, and her love affair with a Light One. With intricate plotting, fierce action, violence and magic, the novel continues the series’ mix of dark humor and suspense.
