Zah Atreides

She came to kill Emperor Paul Atreides and die with him. But when the attempt fails, he does the unthinkable: spares her life and claims her instead. Bound to the man she once swore to destroy, Seraphine is thrust into the glittering yet perilous heart of an Imperium seething with power plays, shifting loyalties, and watchful eyes including those of Irulan Corrino, who sees Seraphine's uncertainty as an opportunity.

Paul calls her his future and swears she is the key to holding on to his humanity, but Seraphine is haunted by grief for a love she lost. As she struggles to hold on to herself and to the woman she is meant to be, Paul's relentless presence begins to unravel her defenses.

He is as infuriating as he is magnetic, a man burdened by destiny yet obsessed with her in a way that is impossible to ignore. But beyond the palace walls, an ancient power stirs, its will entwining with Paul's and threatening to consume him. To save them both, she must decide if she can trust him before it's too late.

In a world where visions shape empires and gods demand sacrifice, theirs could be a story of ruin... or the kind of love strong enough to endure when the sands shift beneath their feet.
