Imago is the final novel in the Xenogenesis trilogy, following Dawn and Adulthood Rites. Each novel was nominated for a Locust award and republished in the omnibus Lilith's Brood.

Her work creates powerful images of black women in a genre in which and from which they have traditionally been marginalized and excluded.
