Title : Dune Cycle, Volume 7, The House of Mothers - Frank Herbert - book

Summary :

Dune is destroyed, vitrified, atomized. Furious hordes of Honored Matres sweep across the Empire, massacring everything in their path. Planets fall one after another. The Bene Gesserit remains the only organized force. What to do? Darwi Odrade, the Mother Superior, is counting heavily on Miles Teg, the ghola-child, descended from a famous warrior, but whose awakening promises to be tricky. Moreover, the solution may not lie in force of arms. An Honored Matre, Murbella, has defected to the Bene Gesserit. If she survives the Agony of the Spice, the forces of imbalance and balance, finally melded, could lead to the impossible union. Darwi Odrade proposes to negotiate. The Most Honored Matre accepts: she expects unconditional surrender. But the Mother Superior has a plan. She knows full well that the undertaking is extremely risky. If she were to succeed in bringing peace, it would provoke unbearable tensions and perhaps a new Dispersion. Nothing less.
