God emperor of dune/frank herbert

Description Book Four in the Magnificent Dune Chronicles--the Bestselling Science Fiction Adventure of All Time Millennia have passed on Arrakis, and the once-desert planet is green with life.

Leto Atreides, the son of the worlds savior, the Emperor Paul MuadDib, is still alive but far from human.

To preserve humanitys future, he sacrificed his own by merging with a sandworm, granting him near immortality as God Emperor of Dune for the past thirty-five hundred years.

Letos rule is not a benevolent one.

His transformation has made not only his appearance but his morality inhuman.

A rebellion, led by Siona, a member of the Atreides family, has risen to oppose the despots rule.

But Siona is unaware that Letos vision of a Golden Path for humanity requires her to fulfill a destiny she never wanted--or could possibly conceive.
