Wild Seed

Two immortals with supernatural powers chase each other across continents and centuries, their conflict reshaping human destiny. Doro is an ancient spirit who possesses human bodies to sustain his life, killing without remorse. He has bred supernaturally gifted humans into empires under his control. He encounters Anyanwu, an immortal with different abilities—she can heal through touch, transform her body, and reverse aging. She has used her powers to help her neighbors and establish communities of kindred people. When Doro meets Anyanwu, he becomes obsessed with her. From 17th-century Nigeria to 19th-century United States, their relationship unfolds as a power struggle that spans generations and fundamentally alters what it means to be human. This deluxe edition features a new cover design, premium French flaps, newly designed full-color interior covers, and high-quality paper with deckled edges.
