Mary is the product of a dangerous experiment. Her creator, the immortal Doro, has spent generations manipulating humanity, selectively breeding people with extraordinary abilities—such as telepathy—to create a powerful new race bound to his will. Mary, a young Black woman living on the outskirts of Los Angeles in the 1970s, has no idea how extraordinary her own powers will soon become.

Doro knows he must guide Mary carefully or risk losing her, as he has so many of his previous creations. But what he fails to anticipate is that Mary’s rapidly evolving telepathic abilities may one day rival his own.

By linking telepaths into a single psychic network, Mary creates the possibility of breaking Doro’s control forever—and altering the destiny of the human race.
