Summary
Far, far away from the sietches of Arrakis or the halls of Caladan, Kaitain, or Giedi Prime, there is a small, backwater moon where the main things of note are livestock exports and an unimportant Bene Gesserit chapterhouse.
Initiate Yakoba Herstal is a struggling student and is worried about her inevitable meeting with the Gom Jabbar. Unfortunately Proctor Myuller, one of her teachers (and one with an abnormally high body count) has now taken an interest in training her directly. Maryam, Yakoba's cellmate, is an uptight, quiet noble-born whose status– and the plots around her– precede her even here. And their friend Borte is, well... Borte.
In their own ways, these three girls are drawn into political machinations and generational drama far above and beyond the more mundane dangers of surviving to Novice Sister status.
(The AU Canon Divergence aspects of the fic are revealed by the end of Chapter 3.)
