An all-powerful ruler's son vies for control over the human race in this brilliant conclusion to the Patternist saga, from the critically acclaimed author of Parable of the Sower.
In the far future, the human race is divided into two groups striving for power. The Patternmaster rules over all, the leader of the telepathic Patternist race whose thoughts can destroy or heal at his whim. The only threat to his power are the Clayarks, mutant humans created by an alien pandemic, who now live either enslaved by the Patternists or in the wild.
Coransee, son of the ruling Patternmaster, wants the throne and will stop at nothing to get it, even if it means venturing into the wild mutant-infested hills to destroy a young apprentice — his equal and his brother.

      The final installment in the Patternist series is actually the author's first novel, originally published in 1976. Robin Miles narrates the series. In the distant future, the world has evolved such that the Patternists are now the dominant culture. They use their telepathic powers to rule and enslave "lesser" beings. Two brothers, Coransee and Teray, vie to become the designated successor of their father, the Patternmaster. Narrating in the third person from Teray's point of view, Miles adopts a conversational tone. She conveys the solitude of a man who has never had a close friend. She effectively contrasts Teray's navet with the arrogance and self-assurance of Coransee, who is 11 years older. As Teray learns the breadth of his own powers, Miles expresses his growing confidence. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
