Fifteen hundred years after the death of the God Emperor, the empire lies in tatters. Civilization has scattered across the stars. Rakis has dried into desert once more, and the sandworms—once gods, now relics—are dying.
Power vacuums don’t stay empty for long. As the Lost Ones return, old factions clash with new forces, and ancient prophecies awaken.
At the center of it all is Sheeana, a girl raised in the dust of Rakis with the uncanny ability to command the sandworms. Her rise sparks a wave of religious fervor, echoing Leto’s legacy and threatening to reshape the galaxy once again.
In this fifth installment of the Dune Chronicles, Herbert weaves a tale of rebellion, prophecy, and the ever-persistent hunger for power.
