Middleways.
Joshua McDaniel is an ordinary college graduate, seeking meaning in life and gainful employment, and otherwise feeling a bit directionless. All that changes when he is removed from this world to the extraordinary one of Middleways.
Here, large sapient trees (the Sisters) produce an energy called amrit, which among other things can extend a human life indefinitely, grant superpowers to some, and be harnessed to power most any technology. And of course, there is a war between a corporation seeking to lobotomize and exploit the Sisters (called the Corrupt) and their defenders.
Further complicating matters, Joshua is a Channeler, with the power to drain amrit/life-force with a touch. A most dangerous ability central to the Corrupt's strategy and never before possessed by a defender...

* ArborealAbode: Each Sister can support a small community of Defenders.

* FantasyGunControl: Something in the different atmospheric mix of Middleways prevents gunpowder, cordite, or other explosives from going off. It is theorized by readers that the only reason people can breathe on Middleways is the amrit. Supported by how anyone who leaves the Valley and thus the amrit supply dies.
* TransNature: [[spoiler: Alex.]]
