DESCRIPTION: New York Times bestselling authors David and Leigh Eddings continue their nationally bestselling The Dreamers series with this brand new epic fantasy.The Vlagh has turned its attention from the lands of the goddess Zelana (The Elder Gods) to her brother, Veltan, ruler of the peaceful farming land around the Falls of Vash. These gentle villagers are Vlagh+s obstacles as it breeds a hideous army to annihilate the world. Determined to protect his people and his lands, Omago, Veltan+s human friend, works with the heroes from Zelana+s domain to raise a defense.
