Launching October 2025

God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert

He is no longer human – he is desert. He is empire. He is god.

Frank Herbert's legendary saga continues with God Emperor of Dune – the fourth book in his epic Dune series to be reimagined by Folio. Set thousands of years after Children of Dune, this is the most visionary – and bizarre – instalment yet, with the tyrant Leto II Atreides now fully transformed and wielding godlike power. Artist Grace Aldrich brings the story's complex characters vividly to life with a hypnotic series of illustrations that capture the surreal grandeur of Herbert’s universe.
