Ultimate Guide to Dune (Part 4) Children of Dune

Children of Dune takes place nine years after Dune Messiah. At this time the Empire is ruled by Princess Alia who maintains the regency until Paul's twins Leto and Ghanima come of age. Paul's twins are like no children that have ever lived before. In truth they are millions of years old, a perfect combination of genes, and a mother's heavy consumption of spice led these children to become preborn, forced into consciousness with all the memories of their ancestors.

Although Alia was pre-born as the Twins were, she does not share their experience. The Twin’s connections to their past lives seem to be more fluid. Alia avoided the intricacies of her inner world and therefore did not possess the mental linkages that the twins had. For example, they were able to speak fluently in many ancient languages, whereas Alia would only be able to catch a word or two. Alia has now undergone the spice trance, and as a result, the unimaginable has happened. The very thing the reverend mother Gaius Helen Mohiam feared in book one, Abomination.
