As the acclaimed Patternist science-fiction series begins, two immortals meet in the long-ago past - and mankind's destiny is changed forever.

For a thousand years, Doro has cultivated a small African village, carefully breeding its people in search of seemingly unattainable perfection. He survives through the centuries by stealing the bodies of others, a technique he has so thoroughly mastered that nothing on Earth can kill him. But when a gang of New World slavers destroys his village, ruining his grand experiment, Doro is forced to go west and begin anew. He meets Anyanwu, a centuries-old woman whose means of immortality are as kind as his are cruel. She is a shape-shifter, capable of healing with a kiss, and she recognizes Doro as a tyrant. Though many humans have tried to kill them, these two demi-gods have never before met a rival. Now they begin a struggle that will last centuries and permanently alter the nature of humanity.

I really enjoyed the parable series and kindred but I hadn’t expected to love this one as much as I did - I think this has been my favourite Octavia Butler so far. It had so much to say about archetypes and gender roles and race, about power and control. I absolutely loved the way that shape shifting was described. The whole contrast of a healer and a destroyer was fascinating in how it is played out. Really want to read the other books in the series.

Loved this

Strong characterisation. A truly unique storyline in a world where life was brutal and cheap. The action and drama hold the reader's attention throughout; while at the same time the writer's "fantastic" concepts are explored and developed in detail. Let your imagination go with the story and embrace a new take upon old myths.

A new take upon old myths - great story, well told
