The Earth of the Russian cluster trembles at the footsteps of enemies. Angry gods frown from the heavens. The secret services are tangled up in the whirl of a dogfight-like chaos. Hundreds of thousands of rational beings happily cut each other down. This is no longer a game quest and not just petty bickering between a couple of clans over a resource-rich location. This is war! A war of civilizations, religions, and facets of light. The earth cries out in pain, and astral entities recoil in horror. Towers of burning castles collapse, doomed stone melts from the heat.
The enemy is coming! Refugees stream into the Valley, the Alliance’s strike force gathers into a fist. Gleb is no longer merely the leader of the clan. He is the Leader and the crystallization center of the resistance’s forces. And you have no choice—if behind your back are frightened children’s eyes and the pounding hearts of thousands of people who have entrusted themselves to you.
