'A book that shifted my life... Epic, game-changing, moving and brilliant' VIOLA DAVIS on Wild Seed 'A literary pioneer' VANITY FAIR on Octavia E. Butler -- The child's name is Mary, and her father, Doro, is immortal. For thousands of years, Doro has experimented with humans, pursuing rare telepathic traits to create perfect beings who obey his every command. Mary is the result: a young Black woman growing up on the rough outskirts of Los Angeles in the 1970s - with no idea of the power she holds. Doro knows he must handle Mary carefully or risk her ending like his previous experiments - dead, either by her own hand or his. What he doesn't suspect is that Mary's abilities may soon overpower his own. But as Mary comes of age, she seeks connection. Linking her own mind with six other telepaths, she creates the first Pattern - and shifts the course of humanity forever. A PATTERNIST NOVEL: BOOK TWO
