House Atreides—noble, principled, and bound by honor—takes stewardship of Arrakis, a desert planet whose very sand conceals the universe’s most precious substance: the spice melange. Young Paul Atreides, heir to his house and shaped by his mother's secretive training in the sisterhood's ways, must navigate palace intrigue, betrayals, and the brutal realities of a world where survival demands adaptation.
Arrakis itself is a character: endless dunes, sacred sietches, gigantic sandworms, and a people forged by scarcity—the Fremen—whose culture and rituals hold keys to power and prophecy. As political rivalries collide with prophetic expectations, Paul is pulled toward choices that will test his identity, loyalty, and the fragile line between liberation and domination.
The story threads politics, religion, ecology, and personal destiny into a sweeping, visceral saga of transformation: a coming-of-age and an epic struggle over control of a resource that shapes the fate of empires.
