This article contains spoilers forDune: Prophecyseason 1.
The path to our enemy begins here.
Here, of course, is Arrakis, which isnt a huge surprise.
The desert planet has always been at the center of Frank Herberts novels.
ButDune: Prophecyisnt based onFrank Herberts work, at least not directly.

Whose Eyes Do We See In Valyas Vision?
But in the finale, Valya sees inside Desmonds mind to get a glimpse of the threat.
Theres a hooded figure running the equipment, but we never see its face.
However, the books do give a few ideas about the person behind the eyes.
However, theDunemovies take place 10000 years afterProphecy, and there arent many Thinking Machines around any more.
Ixians continue to study technology, despite the fallout of the Butlerian Jihad.
On one hand, the change makes sense, as Javicco showed himself to be a weak emperor.
In short, theres no sign that her reign will go any better than her husbands.
Lila isnt Lila anymore, having died trying to access her genetic memories.
So it does track that the series would deal with belief instead of action.
However, the books tend to portray those beliefs as self-consuming, too rigid for their own good.
What Is Valyas New Plan?
Valya still wants to put a Sister on the throne, namely Ynez.
She even lost herface-dancingacolyte Theodosia, one of her more versatile allies.
The bigger question is about her other plan.
And she does have Ynezs lover Keiran Atreides with her on Arrakis, so perhaps that quest is done.
Then again, you could never tell with Valya.
Will Salusa Secundus Survive Season Two?
As weve said,Dune: Prophecytakes place largely in a no mans land between books.
Which isnt a bad thing.
The biggest event available with them is the destruction of Salusa Secundus.
The books dont say, exactly.
But theres enough hearsay and wriggle room forDune: Prophecyto put a slightly different spin on the events.
Will history misremember Desmond Harts powers as atomics, hiding the fact that he did the attack?
Will Desmonds secret masters reveal themselves, resulting in the destruction of the planet?
These are huge questions forDune: Prophecyto work with in its second season.
All of Dune: Prophecy season 1 is available to stream on Max.
