The Elder Gods: David and Leigh Eddings

Book I of The Dreamers. They look like sleeping children. They are, in fact, Gods. There are eight Elder Gods - four awake, four asleep, by turns. When they sleep, they sleep for eons. The only time the Gods are vulnerable are when the sleepers awake. The Ruler of the Wasteland knows that - and ambitious to become a God by destroying Gods, watches and waits, marshalling troops for war. So it is that the coming of the Dreamers goes unnoticed in the Wasteland. But the World is soon out of kilter; it is being dreamed and the awakening of Gods is no simple transition. The Sleeping Gods are stirring. When the wake, the Battle will begin...there will be trickery and deception. Tribes of humans, creatures of the deep, the sea and the earth, the weather and the Divinities will all play their part in the epic struggle against the Ruler of the Wasteland.
