There's no doubt about it: Beck Phillips' life has taken a turn for the weird. Moving in with his filthy-rich uncle in Kingsplot might not be so bad-except his uncle is crazy, obsessed with dragons, and refuses to come out of the attic. As bad as things are, though, it's not as bad as the wandering lights Beck sees flickering in the darkened hallways, or the mysteriously buried basement, or even the bizarre new power he seems to have discovered-Beck can make things grow. It seems like a strange gift to have, until he discovers a forbidden conservatory in the woods. What he finds inside will test his newfound power and his courage to their limits. Pillage is a fast-paced adventure, revealing the tangled history of the Phillips family and a dangerous curse that only Beck can break. If it's not already too late. The plants are growing and the dragons have already taken wing . . .
