Wild Seed

By Octavia E. Butler

About this book

Doro, who survives by taking over other bodies, encounters Anyanwu, a healer who can change her own form. He wants her to join the communities he controls, while she is determined to protect the people she loves. Their struggle across generations gives Butler room to examine consent, inheritance, and what power does to family ties.
