The all-tree in book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade
Holger raises the alarm that the all-tree has been attacked (ch. 24): any forest-kin within a few hundred metres of an outcropping is protected from magic, because the tree sucks the spell in and turns it on the caster, killing the outcropping, which grows back in a few months (ch. 25). A warning follows: stay away from all-trees, which whisper an apostate's location to Diwata (ch. 55). Grimaldi was planted beside a node and became one with the tree, as they all do in the end; its roots have survived every infestation (ch. 63).
