Humanity has defeated the thinking machines, but the new Imperium remains divided over what kinds of knowledge it can safely preserve. Raquella's school trains women to develop extraordinary mental and physical abilities, while other groups pursue navigation and the disciplined reasoning of Mentats. A growing movement against technology threatens these institutions as rival families compete to shape the civilization taking form around them.

Valya and Tula Harkonnen work to secure the Sisterhood's influence over an empire still marked by humanity's war against thinking machines. Their training and political arrangements depend on access to powerful families and the imperial court. The arrival of a soldier whose abilities they cannot explain threatens both their plans and the authority they have spent years building.
