The Death of Duty

Paul Atreides. Last heir of House Atreides after witnessing its destruction at the hands of the Baron Harkonnen. Within the sands of Arrakis, he finds not only his destiny, but the greatest love he's ever known. He wrestles with himself, knowing that submitting to his love could mean the end of the Fremen for good. But she was everything he had been searching for, and he can't bring himself to let that go.

The daughter of a once-noble house of Arrakis, product of the Bene Gesserit as failsafe for their breeding program, now Fremen and lethal warrior. After Baron Harkonnen assassinated her family and destroyed her city at twelve years old, Seraphina Castellan escaped into the desert where she was rescued by the Fremen. Taken in and trained under Stilgar, she morphed into a deadly warrior of both the Bene Gesserit arts and the Fremen tactics. When Paul arrived, she hadn't expected to fall in love with him, much less witness his path toward messiah.

But the past Seraphina tried so desperately to run from has resurfaced. Secrets threaten to reveal themselves, but Paul's destiny as the Lisan al Gaib threatens to tear them apart for good.

Seraphina's own destiny as a daughter of the Bene Gesserit--meant to compensate for Lady Jessica's failure to produce a girl--will tie her life to a man she swore she'd kill.

Feyd-Rautha.

He represents everything Seraphina despises. His uncle murdered her family and destroyed her city in a grab for power. Everything in her is screaming to kill him. He's psychotic, vicious, cunning, and lethal. So why is it so hard to lift the knife?

After the Battle of Arrakeen goes awry, Seraphina is captured and taken to the heart of her enemy's homeworld under the orchestrations of the Bene Gesserit and Emperor. Giedi Prime is her living nightmare, so why does she long to remain under the sweet knife of Feyd-Rautha?

Duty, love, and war unite to form a triangle full of passion, pain, and ecstasy that ends in bloodshed.
