A major publishing event, this title launches a brand new series from one of the most important names in the epic fantasy genre -- New York Times bestselling authors David and Leigh Eddings, who began writing bestselling fantasy novels before anyone else! While most continents of their world float freely on the face of Mother Sea, the Land of Dhrall has exists anchored by the will of the Gods. All gods, Elder and Younger, share the people and the land of Dhrall equally, though the one place they never enter is The Wasteland, for that barren and hideous land is ruled by the Vlagh. Now, as the age of the Younger Gods comes to a close, a diabolical plan has come to light: The Vlagh plans to exploit the weakness that comes during the time of transfer of power from the Younger to the Elder Gods, with hopes to conquer Dhrall, neutralize the Gods, and then conquer the world. To do so, he is breeding an army--a terrible force of pure, efficient killing machines borne of monsters, demons, and beasts out of nightmares. Dahlaine, the leader of the Gods, has forseen the ugly future and has brought into existence what might be their only hope: four children, called the Dreamers. They hold the power to change the course of history through their dreams alone--and the only ones with the power to stop the Vlagh in his quest for total world subjugation...

Able to bend reality to their whims and influence the lives of mortal men, these deities are still bound by the laws of nature and cannot take lives. Yet the Gods are not the only power. For in the center of Dhrall lives a voracious horror known as the Vlagh. A nightmare made flesh, the Vlagh has bred a massive army of hideous monsters to overrun the world. In the coming battles the people of Dhrall will be aided by a ragtag force of foreign mercenaries and pirates, but the true champions of the war will be four enigmatic children known as the Dreamers.
