The day watch

"Alice, a young but powerful Dark Other, attends a planning meeting with her comrades in the Day Watch. The team is on a mission to apprehend an uninitiated Other, a practicing Dark witch who has so far eluded the bureax responsible for finding and initiating unlicensed practitioners of magic. It seems routine, but when they arrive, the Night Watch team has already made the arrest. A fierce battle ensures, during which Alice almost dies. Drained of her powers, she is sent to recuperate near the black Sea. There she meets Igor, the chemistry between them is instant and irresistible ... Then comes the realisation: Igor owes his allegiance to the Light, Alice to the Dark. There is no alternative to a magical duel, a battle that neither of them wants to win."--Publisher description.
