Dreams are messages from the deep || Paul Atreides
Paul and Aurora-written in the histories for all those who cling to hope. The two teenagers, bound by friendship and fate, find themselves under unimaginable pressure after leaving the familiar waters of Caladan behind. Now, they face the unforgiving desert of Arrakis, where the defeat of House Harkonnen thrusts them into the center of a rebellion that will determine the planet's future. But can it truly be that these childhood companions, who once shared laughter under Caladan's skies, are destined to become the saviors of Arrakis? The people believe they are the Lisan al-Gaib and the Wulkar Waker, figures of prophecy foretold to lead them to salvation. Even if they weren't meant to be, fate has left Paul and Aurora with no other choice but to embrace their roles. To survive, they must become the very legends the Fremen and the universe have been waiting for.
Divine Feminine (Paul Atreides #1)
"Femi," Heated lips whispered my name as hot arms enclosed around me. "Burn with me." It was a command I couldn't disobey. Not like I had a choice, but I did burn. Gods, I burned with him. The fire took us; skin and bone but it was different now. With him, now it was, the fire was something I could manage and together we drowned in it. ~ The Great Divine Series | Book 1 All Rights Reserved ©2023ChxnelroseComplete

Divine Violence (Paul Atreides #2)
"Femi," I jump after her and catch her bicep. She whirls on me and shoves at my chest. I release her and fall back. "And what about me? Will you order me to leave your side?" She snarls. "Femi..." I trails off shaking my head. "No. You chose me and I, you. This is one of cons of that so we stay together or we don't stay at all." I know she was trying to protect me, to love me, while I could feel myself inching closer and closer to the darkness, and I love her, loudly and proudly, more than I should, but that love sits right beside the hunger in me for power, survival, and vengeance, and I don't know which part of me she's feeding anymore. ~ The Great Divine Series | Book 2 All Rights Reserved ©2024ChxnelroseComplete
