🚀 SCIENCE FICTION | EPIC FANTASY | SPACE OPERA
Book Two in the magnificent, universally bestselling Dune Chronicles.
Extended Synopsis
Dune: Messiah continues the extraordinary story of Paul Atreides, better known—and feared—as the man christened Muad’Dib. Now established as the Emperor of the known universe, Paul wields an unprecedented level of power. Though worshipped as a profound religious icon by the fanatical Fremen, his rule is far from secure.
Paul faces the deep-seated enmity of the political houses he displaced upon assuming the throne, as well as a dangerous conspiracy brewing within his own immediate sphere of influence. Even as the mighty House Atreides begins to crumble around him under the weight of his enemies' machinations, the most devastating threat is aimed directly at his lover, Chani, and the unborn heir to his dynastic legacy.
