About this ebook
THE COMPLETE PATTERNIST SERIES.
'Unnervingly prescient and wise' YAA GYASI
Includes the novels WILD SEED, MIND OF MY MIND, CLAY'S ARK and PATTERNMASTER.
'A book that shifted my life... Epic, game-changing, moving and brilliant' VIOLA DAVIS
It begins when two immortals meet. Doro is an ancient spirit who changes bodies like clothes, stealing the life from his hosts. Anyanwu can shift her very shape, absorbing bullets as easily as she can heal with a kiss. Their relationship, an epic story of love and hate which spans centuries, will change everything.
Over hundreds of years, Doro pursues perfection, attempting to create a master race of people with the most manipulative of minds. But the Patternists are becoming increasing harder to control, and harder to hide from the world...
In these four novels, New York Times-bestselling author Octavia E. Butler tells the classic story that began her legendary career: a mythic tale of the transformation of humanity.
