The Treasured One
The Dreamers,
No. II
By David & Leigh Eddings
David
and Leigh Eddings return with another installment of their fascinating
new series, The Dreamers. In the first book, The Elder Gods, the
servants of the Vlagh invaded the Eastern domain of the land of
Dhrall. The combined armies of Maags, Trogites and the natives of
Zelana's domain defeated them, while natural disasters blocked the
entry from the wasteland forever. Now, in The Treasured One, the
servants of the Vlagh are preparing to invade Zelana's brother's
domain. Veltan's domain lies on the south end of the continent of
Dhrall. Spies of the Vlagh have already been spotted in several
areas.
Both Maags and Trogites have gone
to the southern domain to prepare for the invasion. However, something
else has gone wrong. Ashad, Dahlaine's dreamer, has dreamed of the
Vlagh invasion as well as one from the south. He didn't see who
the southern invaders were, nor could he tell when the invasions
would take place. The gods who rule now will have to join forces
to repel the invaders. But can they handle two invading armies at
once?
Once again, things are not as they seem.
The four gods are still tampering with the weather. But someone
is tampering with the minds of men. Whoever this person is, he or
she seems to have more power than Dahlaine, Aracia, Veltan and Zelana
combined. Just who is this powerful person? It's
The Treasured One is a powerful
story of greed out of control. It is also a story of a hunger for
power and survival. The action is nonstop, the danger ever-present
and the mind-bending forces of nature and gods are strengthened.
Though the situation is resolved, the end leaves you hungering for
the next installment. Pick up a copy of both volumes and enjoy.
