A fractured empire and a changing Rakis

Set fifteen hundred years after the death of Leto Atreides, the fifth Dune novel opens on an empire reshaped by collapse and the vast outward migration known as the Scattering. Arrakis—now Rakis—has returned to desert conditions, while its sandworms are dying. As returning factions contest the remnants of imperial power, Sheeana’s emergence on Rakis gains religious significance across the galaxy. The premise brings ecological change, political struggle, and prophecy together, placing the planet’s altered landscape at the heart of a conflict over what the old empire has left behind.
