About the book: 2021 / Ordinary appearance reliably hides unusual opportunities, Elena told herself and lived “like everyone else.” Until she was faced with a choice that threw her out of the house, deprived her of everything ordinary. However, is it possible to pay less for a meeting with the queen of the swamps or the black forest? Step by step - from the city of “true people”. Into a wild field, where the fragile boundaries of what is permitted are corrected only by lawyers. While they are not around, the intelligent ones - red ants, black foresters, valgs of great flocks and Alex himself - coexist as best they can.
