Paul Atreides hat seine Rolle als Anführer der Fremen akzeptiert, aber er kennt die Gefahren, die das mit sich bringt: Entweder, sie erobern ihren Heimatplaneten Arrakis von den Harkonnen zurück, oder sein Verlust entfesselt einen Heiligen Krieg, der die Galaxis verschlingen wird. Lady Jessica ist zur Ehrwürdigen Mutter der Bene Gesserit aufgestiegen, aber sie hat Schwierigkeiten, ihren Wunsch, Paul zu unterstützen, mit den Erwartungen ihres Ordens in Einklang zu bringen. Derweil hat Baron Harkonnen die Ausbildung seines Neffen so gut wie abgeschlossen und wird den skrupellosen Feyd-Rautha schon bald als Herrscher über den Wüstenplaneten einsetzen. Ein alles entscheidender Showdown, der nicht nur Arrakis für immer verändern wird, steht kurz bevor! »Dune« erzählt die Geschichte von Paul Atreides und seiner Familie, die auf dem Wüstenplaneten Arrakis die Vorherrschaft über die Förderung des Spice übernehmen, der mystischen Droge, die das Reisen zwischen den Sternen ermöglicht.

Děj se odehrává dva roky před Princeznou Duny a je to dosud nikdy nevyprávěný příběh dvou klíčových žen v životě Paula Muad\''Diba – princezny Irulan, jeho ženy jen podle jména, a Paulovy skutečné lásky, Fremenky Chani. Obě ženy se stanou ústředními postavami Paulovy císařské vlády, která se rozprostírá po celé galaxii.

Od událostí, popisovaných v předchozím díle, uplynuly více než dvě desítky let. Tažení proti myslícím strojům se táhne už roky, ale síly vedené Serenou Služebnicí a Iblisem Ginjem dosáhly jen nevelkého pokroku. Lidské světy už jsou unaveny válkou, krvavým, bezvýchodným potácením od vítězství k porážkám...

Set two years before Dune, Princess of Dune is the never-before-told story of two key women in the life of Paul Muad’Dib—Princess Irulan, his wife in name only, and Paul’s true love, the Fremen Chani. Both women become central to Paul’s galaxy-spanning Imperial reign. Raised in the Imperial court and born to be a political bargaining chip, Irulan was sent at an early age to be trained as a Bene Gesserit Sister. As Princess Royal, she also learned important lessons from her father—the Padishah Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV. Now of marriageable age, Princess Irulan sees the machinations of the many factions vying for power—the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, the Spacing Guild, the Imperial throne, and a ruthless rebellion in the Imperial military. The young woman has a wise and independent streak and is determined to become much more than a pawn to be moved about on anyone’s gameboard. Meanwhile, on Arrakis, Chani—the daughter of Liet-Kynes, the Imperial Planetologist who serves under the harsh rule of House Harkonnen—is trained in the Fremen mystical ways by an ancient Reverend Mother. Brought up to believe in her father’s ecological dream of a green Arrakis, she follows Liet around to Imperial testing stations, surviving the many hazards of desert life. Chani soon learns the harsh cost of Fremen dreams and obligations under the oppressive boot heel of the long Harkonnen occupation.

Shaddam ostenta una precaria posición como gobernador del Universo Conocido, la cual depende de que engendre un heredero varón.

Sus objetivos principales son la Casa Atreides y la misteriosa hermandad Bene Gesserit. La Hermandad no sospecha esta amenaza, ocupada en culminar el trabajo de siglos y crear un niño-dios que barrerá emperadores, Casas y la propia historia en un terrorífico nuevo orden de tiranía religiosa. El planeta Dune también padece la atroz esclavitud impuesta por los crueles Harkonnen, decididos a explotar sus recursos y en especial la adictiva melange, especia que solo se encuentra en Dune. Héroes inesperados empiezan a surgir ansiosos por vengarse del barón Harkonnen... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Before . . . The epic tale of Duke Leto Atreides and his rise to power . . .
