Paul and Irulan are distantly related--and they study at the same university. However, they can't stand each other and spend all their time arguing with each other.

This carries on through their university career, postgraduate school and their jobs for Empire Industries, for which Paul's father works in a very senior position and in which Irulan's dad is the CEO.

Until the day that Paul's dad is sent to Arrakis, to clean up the mess that Paul's granddad, Vladimir Harkonnen, and cousins Glossu Rabban and Feyd-Rautha made. Paul is sent as his assistant and Irulan is told she has to choose one of the Harkonnen boys to marry; he will run the company and she will be a dutiful corporate wife.

Paul and his parents are trying to understand who's behind the acts of sabotage against them and their team on Arrakis. And Leto and Paul are trying to make a deal with the Fremen, who don't like their land being exploited. It's then that he runs into Chani, his girlfriend in University, who's working along with her mother as an environmental scientist.

In college, she rooms with Anirul Sandow-Tonkin, an heiress, and Wanna Marcus, from a middle-class home. She keeps meeting Leto Atreides, who accompanies his cousin Shaddam Corrino, who's courting Anirul. Also, Piter deVries, who studies in the college next door,keeps running into her...

She writes about all these experiences to her mysterious benefactor, Mr Daddy-Long-Legs, who responds occasionally through his secretary.
