Wild Seed is Octavia E. Butler's genre-defining science fiction novel and chronological opening to her acclaimed Patternist series. It follows the centuries-long relationship between Doro, an ancient spirit who survives by leaping from body to body, and Anyanwu, an African shapeshifter and healer with the power to transform herself at will. Their epic, often turbulent bond spans continents and generations, exploring power, freedom, and what it means to be human. A visionary work from one of science fiction's most celebrated voices.
