Heretics of Dune

Following the God Emperor's death centuries earlier, civilization has fractured and dispersed across the galaxy. As the exiled millions begin their return to Arrakis, now a barren desert world where the sandworms face extinction, humanity must confront the legacy of its past and the consequences of its abandonment. Frank Herbert's fifth novel in the Dune saga explores a fractured empire struggling to rebuild and the mysteries that await those who dare to challenge established order.
