In the shadow of prophecy, destinies are not written, they are designed.
Cerydra Izulem, a member of the Sisterhood, was sent to House Atreides with one purpose: to stand at the side of Paul Atreides, heir of Caladan, as his wife or his concubine. Trained from childhood in the ways of the Bene Gesserit, her every thought, word, and movement carries the weight of a mission older than herself. Unknown to most, her true bloodline made her both as a weapon and a weakness in the game of the imperium.
Paul does not trust her. To him, she is a shadow of the Sisterhood's manipulation, a silent chain meant to bind him. Yet the Bene Gesserit have entrusted Cerydra with a secret talent: the art of Imprinting, a power that can entwine hearts, minds, and fates. Against the backdrop of Caladan's seas and the burning sands of Arrakis, she walks a razor's edge between loyalty to her training and a stirring defiance of her fate.
When House Atreides is cast into the Emperor's trap, Cerydra must confront the truth of her heritage and the cost of her mission. Is she merely the veil drawn across the Prophet's path or will she lift it, and choose her own destiny?
