They argue about why it is necessary for her to marry, but ultimately her father wins and the “courting candle” is set on the porch to await the suiter’s arrival.

Not really sure what the logic behind that was. Heretics of Dune is the fifth novel in Frank Herbert’s Dune series that is available on audio and tells the story of the Emperor of Dune, Leto, who is no more. Like Baron Harkonnen half the time has a Darth Vader type voice and no accent the rest of the time.

It is therefore surprising that Joyce Lankester Brisley has not been the subject of a substantial biography or critical study to date.
