Birnam Wood: A Novel follows Mira Bunting, founder of a guerrilla gardening collective that quietly plants crops in overlooked corners of New Zealand. After a landslide isolates the town of Thorndike, she discovers a seemingly abandoned farm that could finally secure the group’s future.

Her plans collide with those of Robert Lemoine, an American billionaire who has bought the land to build an end-times bunker. Drawn to Mira’s idealism and Birnam Wood’s resourceful spirit, he proposes an unlikely partnership that blurs the line between philanthropy and exploitation.

As the group takes on the project, loyalties fray and suspicions grow. Ideals about sustainability, survival, and justice are tested against power, money, and self-interest. What begins as a bold opportunity becomes a tense psychological contest where motivations are murky and consequences are irreversible.

Blending sharp social observation with the momentum of a thriller, Birnam Wood explores environmental activism, wealth, and the compromises people make when survival is at stake.
