Winifred Elze

A family with a mysterious, supernatural connection to the natural world is drawn into a war between plants and humanity in this ecological horror novel.
When Annie and Mark and their five-year-old son, David, move into a grand old Victorian house surrounded by a jumble of gardens, they are not prepared for the terrifying adventure that awaits them.
Little David demonstrates an immediate affinity with the plants, who protect as well as play with him. Annie soon discovers a mysterious birthright and extraordinary powers of her own. And the entire family becomes involved in a fantastic ancient feud that is rooted in the garden, but quickly takes on global implications. Domestic events become frightening as familiar plants conspire to heal or kill, or even to infiltrate the minds of an entire community . . . while a jungle thousands of miles away prepares to reclaim its rights to the very planet on which it lives.
