The deity quartet raise children to become dreamers to fulfill the prophecy that claims one who would defeat That-Called-The-Vlagh will come. As the latest cycle comes to a close, only the Dreamers can save the day, but meanwhile as the Gods wait for the right time the foursome raises a human army to combat That-Called-The-Vlagh and his horde.
The opening book of the four-novel set The Dreamers sets the stage for what could prove to be a strong series centering on the recycling of life and death. However, THE ELDER GODS spends so much time setting the table, no one dines. Instead the wide cast especially the Gods pontificate with soliloquies. Still the potential for a powerhouse has been placed in motion so that it appears the action will step forward and readers will end up with a feast. Please do as I say, not as I do or feel, by being patient.
