With Paul seemingly dead, it is up to his now teenage children to continue his legacy. Their aunt Alia is showing signs of possession and their grandmother Jessica is ending her self imposed exile from Dune to visit them. With everyone having their own plans for the twins, the two prescient offspring of Paul (armed with all of his knowledge and abilities) put into effect their own plans:

The Golden Path, the salvation of the human race and the single most disruptive event in the course of the Dune Universe.

The further adventures of Paul Muad’Dib. Overthrowing the galactic government and setting up a religion based monarchy was the easy part. Now that he is in power, Paul fights to maintain a stable universe in the face of multiple conspiracies against him. With his wife pregnant, and cracks forming in his once loyal Fremen, all of his plans become very complicated.
