Perfect for you if...

You love science fiction that treats Black characters as the architects of their own power, not the victims of white saviour narratives.
You're drawn to stories about women claiming agency over their own bodies and minds, especially against impossible odds.
You appreciate lean, propulsive plots that don't waste time on exposition, moving instead toward explosive confrontation.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer sprawling world-building and detailed explanations of how telepathy works scientifically.
You're looking for a cosy read. This book is tense, unsettling, and refuses to be comfortable.
You need your protagonist to be likeable from page one. Mary is fierce, sometimes cold, and forged by trauma.

About this book

Mary is a young Black woman living on the outskirts of Los Angeles in the 1970s who is the product of a generations-long experiment. Her creator, an immortal named Doro, has selectively bred humans with unusual talents like telepathy to create a subrace that obeys his commands. Mary is unaware of the extent of her own power. Doro must manage Mary carefully, as his previous experiments have ended in death. However, Mary's developing telepathic abilities may eventually match his own strength. By connecting telepaths through a viral pattern, she has the potential to free herself from his control and alter the course of humanity.
