Atrix wakes up in the depths of a frozen cave, his body no longer his own. Scales, wings, claws-he's become a dragon, a creature of myth and legend. But his memories are gone. Who was he before this? Why is he a beast? And why does the void he escaped from haunt him like a shadow? As Atrix navigates the treacherous labyrinth of the Blizzardelle Mountains, he discovers that the cave is more than a prison-it's a gateway to ancient secrets, fulfilled prophecies that hint at a past life he can't remember. From monstrous snow-dune worms to sentient crystals whispering cryptic warnings, every step brings him closer to the truth... and closer to danger. Meanwhile, in the sunlit village of Amberhaven, Colleen, a sharp-witted healer with a knack for trouble, finds herself drawn to the mountains by a strange illness and the haunting whistle of the wind. She thinks the cure for the disease are hinted at in old legends. But Colleen isn't one to believe in legends either, and she has to decide which way to take it. As their paths collide, Atrix and Colleen must unravel the mysteries of the Blizzardelle Mountains and their dark history. But the deeper they dig, the more they realize that some truths are better left buried. And some feelings- like the growing bond between a dragon and a half-human- are too dangerous to ignore.

Through the Shifting Trees is a sweeping, slow-burn fantasy romance about fate, forbidden love, and the courage to challenge a world built on cruelty. When environmental scientist Eloise steps into an old photo booth in Philadelphia, she expects nothing more than a moment of nostalgia-not to be ripped from her reality entirely. Stranded in Drysten, a land ruled by elves and shadowed by injustice, she finds herself at the mercy of Cedar, a hardened half orc warrior whose past is as tangled as the forests that hide the rebellion he protects. To Cedar, Eloise is leverage-a means to free his imprisoned sister. To Eloise, he is her captor, a man she refuses to trust. But as war looms and the lines between right and wrong blur, she is drawn into a battle far greater than herself. In the hidden village of Annora, where outcasts carve out fragile hope, Eloise begins to question the home she longs for-and the walls Cedar has spent a lifetime building. With every stolen glance and every fight fought side by side, the bond between them deepens, undeniable and dangerous. But love in a world like this demands sacrifice. As the trees shift and the past refuses to stay buried, Eloise must make an impossible choice: fight in a revolution lead by a closed off warrior she hates to admit she cares for, or find a way back to the life she lost on earth before Drysten's rulers carve out more loss than she can take.

In a place built to erase them, they find something neither was ever meant to have. Each other. "I can feel it in my bones, in the way his heart stutters, the way it picks up speed when he thinks he hears something close. It's not the steady, indifferent rhythm of the others-the guards whose pulses thump in slow, practiced beats, weighted with boredom and routine. His is different. His is wrong. And I crave it." "The more I passed her room the more time I took to look at her, and the more time she took to study me. Her red eyes studied me in a smileless curiosity. She'd tilt her head and look at me upside down from the back wall. She'd always clench her fists to keep her fingers from twitching in my direction. She looked at me as if I was a light in a bottomless pit. Utterly, fascinating. Impossible to ignore. She's a mystery I'll likely never get to unravel." Rosie has been alone for as long as she can remember. No memories. No family. No name-at least, not one that belongs to her anymore. Only the hum of fluorescent lights, the sharp sting of needles, and the cold hands of doctors who carve her open and call it research. She's not a girl to them. She's an experiment. A monster in a cage. And over time, Rosie starts to believe it. Until one day... someone new looks back at her. Not a scientist. Not another test. A guard. A stranger cloaked in black, with storm-lit eyes and a heart that beats with the weight of thousdands of stolen risks. He isn't supposed to be here He carries secrets that could tear the world in two. She's the one they'll kill to keep hidden. Authors note: this story contains violence, gore, and intense graphic scenes. There is NO SMUT IN THIS STORY, whatsoever. Please enjoy :)
