Children of Dune, written by Frank Herbert, is the third novel in the original Dune series.
It takes place nine years after the events portrayed in Dune Messiah. Set within an Arrakis dealing with the loss of Muad'Dib and a changing green environment, Children of Dune follows the Atreides twins Ghanima and Leto II and their rise to power. It also follows the conflict between the Lady Jessica and Alia Atreides, who is now possessed by the memory-consciousness of the long dead Baron Vladimir Harkonnen.
