The epic that got underway with the HUGO and NEBULA Award-winning DUNE, which is now a blockbuster from the filmmaker of Arrival and Blade Runner 2049, continues... The whole round of the wheel is from Dune to Rakis to Dune. The cycle goes from a blazing desert to lush, productive land and back to a burning desert once more. The Scattering's inhabitants are coming back. The women who identify as members of an ecstatic cult known as the Honoured Matres are among them and pose a strange and dangerous threat. And with the arrival of the she-sheer, Sheeana, an old prophecy is fulfilled on Rakis, now Dune.
