Bookroo's summary

On a once-desert world now lush with life, Leto Atreides, the immortal God Emperor, rules with an inhuman grip. His transformation into a sandworm hybrid has made him a despot, feared and opposed by a rising rebellion. Siona, a member of the Atreides lineage, leads the charge against him, unaware that her destiny is entwined with Leto's vision for humanity's future. As she confronts the Emperor, she must navigate a path she never imagined, one that could alter the fate of all. Will she fulfill the destiny Leto foresees, or forge her own path?

From the publisher

Book Four in the Magnificent Dune Chronicles–the Bestselling Science Fiction Adventure of All Time Millennia have passed on Arrakis, and the once-desert planet is green with life. Leto Atreides, the son of the world’s savior, the Emperor Paul Muad’Dib, is still alive but far from human. To preserve humanity’s future, he sacrificed his own by merging with a sandworm, granting him near immortality as God Emperor of Dune for the past thirty-five hundred years. Leto’s rule is not a benevolent one. His transformation has made not only his appearance but his morality inhuman. A rebellion, led by Siona, a member of the Atreides family, has risen to oppose the despot’s rule. But Siona is unaware that Leto’s vision of a Golden Path for humanity requires her to fulfill a destiny she never wanted–or could possibly conceive….
