Heretics of Dune by Frank Herbert - 688 pages
God Emperor Leto II has been dead for thousands of years after his assassination. Humanity is still on the Golden Path, despite the Empire falling to ruin. The Great Scattering, as it is called, has seen millions of people abandon the lives they had known within the Empire to spread out far and beyond the known reaches of space - hence scattering. The planet Arrakis has become a desert climate again and its sandworms are dying. The "Lost Ones" of Arrakis are returning home to their planet in the pursuit of the Empire's lost power. A young girl named Sheeana is found in the wastelands of the planet and begins to rise due to her newfound religious prominence. Sheeana is the one who possesses the abilities to save the sandworms, as foretold by the late God Emperor's prophecy.
