    Summary

    In her youth, Irulan Corrino cherished a deep friendship with Paul Atreides—until a decree from her father severed their connection. Years later, with the Atreides seemingly destroyed, Irulan believed Paul lost to her forever. However, the rise of Muad'Dib, the mysterious Fremen prophet leading a revolution on Arrakis, reveals a shocking truth: Paul Atreides is alive.

    Now, as the empress and wife to the enigmatic and vengeful Muad'Dib, Irulan seeks to navigate her new life on the desert planet. Determined to secure her position, she decides to embrace the ways of the Fremen. But the desert holds secrets and challenges that Irulan might not be prepared for. Will her quest to become Fremen strengthen her or break her?

    Summary

    Paul Muad'Dib Atreides and Irulan of the House Corrino marry at the end of Dune Part II shortly after Chani leaves. Paul ascends to the throne of the Known Universe while the holy war engulfs humanity. However, like in the book, he spent 3 years with the Fremen and has truly become one of them. What Paul wants above all is the love of his life back, which is exactly what the man worshipped as a god cannot have, as Chani moves on with someone else and Paul is heartbroken as a result. Pressured by Jessica, suffocated by imperial politics, torn between his love for Chani and his grief at losing her, haunted by the consequences of his actions, Paul descends deeper into his own darkness, threatening to drag Irulan, who has a secret of her own, down with him. Irulan might be the nominal prisoner but is any of them truly free? And can either of them find a sliver of light as darkness and war start to consume everyone and everything?

    Summary

    Cillian knows her for what she is as soon as he sets eyes on her.

    The who comes after, but at the end of everything, he cannot blame her for what is happening to his parish.

    How could he? She did not ask for these fanatics to come, to commit these abominable sins in her name.

    Though he had been abandoned by the woman who bore him, though he is not grisha, he is still a Morozov, still linked undeniably to the Making and the Void beyond.

    And so he smiles with bitter triumph as he uses his last breath to work the merzost, laughing as he dies.
