Dune Read-along Novels & Stories

Hovering is the bare minimum.” Aiden rolled his eyes gently. “Okay, fair.” Dante slipped an arm around his waist anyway. “Good.

Aiden breathed out slowly. “It’s quiet.” “Too quiet,” Dante muttered. “Which is concerning.” Aiden gave him a sideways look. “Can we have one moment where silence doesn’t equal danger?”

Roll call moved alphabetically. I wasn't paying particular attention until the pause. "Dune, Lyra." Nothing. Soren's aide checked the list. Called again. "Dune, Lyra." The silence that followed had a specific quality to it. Not the ordinary quiet of someone distracted or late. Something heavier. The kind of quiet that the students around the gap could feel without being told why. I looked sideways down the Solas row to where Val stood. She had gone the color of the stone wall behind her.

The wind howled over the dunes as if whispering secrets meant only for the brave. Donato wiped the sweat from his brow, his boots crunching against hot sand. Sunlight bounced off the silver water bottles strapped to his side, and a half-empty pack of protein bars hung from his shoulder. He moved like a ghost through the blazing desert, every step a test of will, every breath a silent vow. The call connected. Static crackled for a moment. "Luca," Donato's voice came through, strained but alive. "I'm about to pass the desert. Three more days to reach the next point on the map."

he whispered. Before Alexa could answer he stood quickly and held out a hand to her to help her up as if they had not been locked in a passionate kiss moments before. They gathered their klakoes and climbed the dune. The aroma of desert rabbit and gluksa reached them and they ran down the dark side of the dune to where Peter sat waiting with their meal. They ate in silence, each lost in their own thoughts. Throughout the meal Alexa stole glances at Muhay but he remained focused on other things and made conversation as if nothing had happened between them before dinner.

I flipped the page and chapter 1 *the sun turned dark emerging with a great light* Seriously? Is this a poem or what?

The sun was just beginning to set over the sea, staining the waves in streaks of amber and orange. Cedric stood on the slope of the dune with Cassian perched on his shoulders, scanning the beach for anything unusual. Celeste dug idly at the sand with a stick, humming to herself as Arla-Rosa stood at the water’s edge, one hand pressed over her heart. The pull had grown stronger. It was as though the sand beneath her feet remembered her, and each step she took across the coastline whispered secrets in a language she was only beginning to remember. But the entrance... remained invisible.

The first page held a single line, faded but legible, written in careful, formal script: Of the Duskborn: their gifts, their cost, and the fear that outlived both. I looked up at Kael, throat suddenly tight. "Ready?" he asked, echoing the question that seemed to follow me everywhere lately. I thought about Damon's careful fragments, about the healer's glowing hands, about nineteen years of not knowing wrapped now in the weight of an actual answer sitting open beneath my palms. "Ready," I said, and began to read.

Alpha Rasmore was striding toward the dungeon. "She is missing, son." The window is open. "She must have escaped through it." He explained fuming in anger. His chest heaved, scaring anyone who looked at him. His teeth were clattering furiously. "No, Alpha Cameroon. She hasn't escaped. Someone helped her go out.
