2006Secondo romanzo di una serie di sei, nota come "Ciclo dei Guardiani".Questo libro è scritto in prima persona. Alisa perde le forze e, per riacquistarle, va in "vacanza" (con l'appoggio di Zavulon) in un campeggio dove si innamora di Igor, un ragazzo apparentemente qualunque. Alisa sceglie di nutrirsi degli incubi dei bambini del campeggio per riacquistare le sue forze. Ma colui di cui la strega Alisa si innamora si rivela un mago della Luce: da questo nascerà la trama della storia, incentrata sul tentativo di supremazia di una delle Parti. Parallelamente a questi eventi, accade un evento rarissimo a Mosca: l'apparizione dello Specchio. Esso è un'emanazione diretta del Crepuscolo, e non può in alcun modo essere fermato. Il suo compito è di ristabilire l'equilibrio tra le due parti quando si crea un dislivello di potenza tra la Luce e le Tenebre. Geser rivela in seguito che in Russia lo specchio è già comparso nove volte, delle quali solo due a favore della Luce. Perciò lo scontro si rivela più duro del previsto.
