Mary must overcome her Patternist father/lover. ![]() Mary: A young biracial woman from a poor neighborhood with a latent paranormal ability.However, those who have read Patternmaster and Clay's Ark know that in a short time, the Clayark virus brought from an alien world will create mutated animalistic beings who cannot be telepathically manipulated and are compelled to infect others, leading to a dystopian future world where the two groups battle for control, and ordinary humans will have to choose between serving the feudal Patternist society or being absorbed by the anarchist Clayarks. There are many Patternist casualties in the fight however, Mary is ultimately able to continue to grow and protect the Patternist society she has created. With support from her people, Mary gains the strength to fight and ultimately kill Doro by adding him to the 'pattern' and draining his life energy. This creates a conflict, as Mary will destroy herself and as a result all Patternists if she discontinues the expansion of her Patternist community. Two years later, after Mary has added 1,500 people to her community of Patternists, Doro thinks Mary has acquired too much power and demands that she stop acquiring telepaths. In the midst of Mary's status change from a "latent" to an "active" telepath, she makes the first ever Pattern as a result of her attaching mentally onto six other active telepathic people. Doro's hope is that his daughter Mary will connect with other telepaths and ultimately become an exceptional telepath who is able to link with other telepathic people. The story is focused on one of Doro's daughters, named Mary, who is a young, poor biracial woman. Doro indirectly 'procreates' by controlling, selectively interbreeding and sometimes possessing the bodies of people who are telepathically sensitive (destroying the host's individual consciousness in the process), in an effort to make a group of psychically gifted superhumans he can achieve power through, who will also make him feel less alone in the world. Since Doro does not have physical immortality, he must move his essence to different bodies as time goes on for his continued survival. Doro is about 4,000 years old and immortal. The leader of the telepathic humans that later became known as the Patternists, was a man originally from Africa named Doro. The novel is set in Forsyth, California, a city near Los Angeles, in the 1970s. This second novel in the series recounts the story of how the Patternist society originated.
