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 shapeshifter, 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.
Hugo and Nebula award–winning author Octavia E. Butler’s sweeping cross-century epic places her “among the best of contemporary SF writers” (Houston Chronicle). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Octavia E. Butler including rare images from the author’s estate.

    Octavia E. Butler nunca decepciona: sus personajes son complejos y van evolucionando a lo largo de la historia.
    ¿Qué harías si tuvieras todo el tiempo del mundo para seguir viviendo? Esa y otras cuestiones son las que deben resolver Anyanwu y Doro, cada uno a su estilo, lo que tendrá consecuencias en si forma de relacionarse.
    Definitivamente seguiré leyendo los siguientes volúmenes de la serie.
