"Leto has narrowly escaped death after an unexpected revolt on Ix and must now protect Rhombus and Kailea Vernius, children of the planet's rulers," reads Boom!'s description of the Dune: House Atreides #7. "While the Duke welcomes them with open arms, his wife Lady Helena is rebuffed and skeptical that housing them could bring more harm than good.
"Duncan Idaho is welcomed into Castle Atreides and discovers all may not be well…" the description ends.
Dune: House Atreides is written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, based on notes by Herbert's late father Frank Herbert. Paradiso's Dev Pramanik is illustrating all 12 issues of the series, with inker Raffaele Semeraro, colorist Alex Guimarães, and letterer Ed Dukeshire.
