Description

Dawn

When Lilith Iyapo wakes in a small white room with no doors or windows, she remembers a devastating war, and a husband and child long lost to her. She finds herself living among the Oankali, a strange race who intervened in humanity's fate centuries before. They spared those they could from the ruined Earth and suspended them in a long, deep sleep. Now they want Lilith to lead her people back home, but salvation comes at a price - to restore humanity, it must be changed forever...

Adulthood Rites

Lilith's son Akin looks like an ordinary child. His family lives together on Earth, but not in complete peace. The Oankali saved humanity years before, compelled by the desire to create an extraordinary new race of children. However, there are those who resist the Oankali and the salvation they offer. As the first of his kind, Akin is more powerful than any other being. He understands the desire to fight for humanity's independence but fears that, if left alone, humanity will destroy itself again. When young Akin is stolen from Lilith and their hybrid family, he faces an impossible choice, reconciling with his own heritage in a world already torn in two.

Imago

Jodahs is a child of the Earth and stars, born from the union between humans and the Oankali, who saved humanity from destruction centuries before. Approaching adulthood, Jodahs faces a metamorphosis that will take him beyond gender and family, into a great but dangerous unknown. Frightened and alone, Jodahs must come to terms with this new identity, learn to master life-changing powers, and bring together what's left of humankind - or become the biggest threat to their survival.
