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.
