    Summary

    For a split second that lasts eons, Arthur exists in that horribly weightless space before gravity conquers, and then he's falling. Distantly, he hears Merlin cry out his name in panic, and then he’s bracing himself for impact.

    An impact that never comes.

    Silently hoping, begging, for anything but what he knows he’s about to see, Arthur turns his head to look.

    And sees Merlin, hand outstretched, and eyes ablaze with gold.

    ***

    Faced with the revelation of Merlin's secret and a sudden internal war between duty and sentiment, Arthur must make a decision that will affect both of their fates. And when Merlin is gravely injured, the time to make that decision rapidly dwindles. Arthur must quickly choose what matters most: the demands of the law, or those of his heart.

    Summary

    House Atreides has been a fading shadow of its former glory since before Paul’s birth. Now, with Feyd-Rautha seated on the Golden Throne and their ancestral wealth depleted, Duke Leto and Lady Jessica are forced to arrange a desperate political marriage to preserve the Atreides line—wedding their son to Gurney Halleck, the scarred lord of a minor House on the backwater planet of Chusuk.

    Summary

    He who can destroy a thing controls it.
    This Paul knows.
    Yet slowly, despite all of his efforts, he is being corroded away by this thing that exists between them. This terrible, agonizing thing.
    Truly, it is the slow blade which penetrates the shield.

    x

    Feyd makes a different choice during the duel. Paul cannot stand his cousin, who haunts his every step.
    But the constant push and pull is hard to resist, dangerous in its headiness...

    Preview:

    They are at a stand-still, knife to throat and throat to knife, and Paul knows what comes next.

    He has seen it.

    Knows that there will be pain, and that things will seem to have taken a turn for the worse. And, for a short moment, they will have.

    But only for a moment.

    So he steels himself, resolve building in the way that he clenches his teeth, face so close to Feyd-Rautha's that he can feel the Harkonnen's breath on his lips – Paul's eyes darting down to that rictus of a smile – when everything...shifts
