The Treasured One (The Dreamers #2) by David Eddings, Leigh Eddings

Description

The one ray of hope shining through the darkness are the four children called the Dreamers. They alone hold the power to change the course of history…and stop the Vlagh in its quest for total world domination.

The God Dahlaine brought the Dreamers into the world of the Elder Gods and now he wishes he’d thought harder about the consequences. He’d had no idea they would be so powerful. It seems there is no limit to the havoc they can wreak. It’s bad enough with them dreaming the future – at least it’s a future – but on top of that, what if someone else is actually controlling their dreams?

Then spies of very short stature start cropping up in Veltan’s bucolic and peaceful domain. They look like people, or maybe they all look like the same person, but they are more sinister than any person could be. Dahlaine is soon on the scene riding his thunderbolt, the Dreamers are threatening to dream, invasion from beyond the sea is rumoured, and war is about to happen…

In their own exquisitely effortless style, David and Leigh Eddings weave a web around the reader of magic, mystery and humour with the second book in their magnificent and action-packed new series, The Dreamers.
