In 1976, Dana dreams of being a writer.
In 1815, she is assumed a slave.
When Dana first meets Rufus on a Maryland plantation, he’s drowning. She saves his life – and it will happen again and again.
Neither of them understands his power to summon her whenever his life is threatened, nor the significance of the ties that bind them.
But each time Dana is pulled back to the past, she finds herself confronting secrets she never knew ran through her blood.
Octavia E. Butler’s ground-breaking masterpiece, with an original foreword by Ayòbámi Adébáyò.
