Book 5 Is Out Now: Sentinels: Keep Out! — The Village Grows Beyond Its Borders

The fifth book in The Village series by Dmitry Dornichev and Alexey Kovtunov is now available—and it marks a major turning point for the story.

What began with confused strangers waking up in a hostile world, where even harmless-looking animals were deadly, has grown into a brutal survival saga of constant adaptation. From flesh-eating rabbits and escalating waves of predators to uneasy encounters with other intelligent races, the residents of the Village learned one simple truth: in this world, stagnation means death.

Over time, the Village endured. It expanded, evolved, and against all odds found unity under Nicholas’s leadership. Enemies were defeated, impossible compromises were achieved, and a fragile sense of stability was forged.

But Book 5 makes one thing clear: that stability was an illusion.

A new, overwhelming threat looms over the Village—one that is inseparable from opportunity. The world is far larger than the humans ever imagined, and while they struggled to survive on its fringes, colossal events were unfolding beyond their sight. Now Nicholas finds himself at the very center of those events, where the fate of the Village may be decided by forces far greater than monsters lurking in the woods.

The Village: Book 5 — Sentinels: Keep Out!

The world just got bigger. And far more dangerous.
