London showed everyone a simple thing: touching a Druid is dangerous. But the world hasn’t grown smarter. People begin to fear mages; portals open more and more often; and states now measure not only their armies, but also how much чужой power they managed to grab.
Ivan answers in his own way: he grows a forest where there should be ash, forges armor, builds new frontiers, and turns чужой chaos into a resource.
But mana is growing too fast. Old spirits awaken; cities become traps—meaning the Druid will have to do what he hates most again: save the world from idiots.
