Children of Dune

Nine years after the events of Dune Messiah, Paul’s children Leto II and Ghanima are nine years old and already more than human. Their aunt Alia — possessed by ancestral memories — rules as regent while House Corrino plots a return, and the ecological transformation of Arrakis begins to erase the world that made Paul.

Children of Dune closes the original Paul-era trilogy and sets up the radical leap forward that is God Emperor of Dune.
