Quick recap

On Ix, Leto learns a revolt is brewing and warns the planet's leaders, but their decision puts everyone at risk. Behind it all is Prince Shaddam, who wants Ix for his own plans. On Arrakis, Pardot Kynes pushes his dream of turning the desert into a green world, while the Fremen wonder whether he's an ally and whether his plan can work. The Harkonnens keep watching. The volume ends with the Ix crisis boiling over and the players set up for Volume 3's finale.
