The Wheel Of Time series of books by Robert Jordan.
This is an epic story revolving around several characters and how they evolve as people from their humble beginnings in a farming village in the back of beyond.
The three main protagonists are ta'veren, whose actions shape and mould the weave of the world. There are their companions and the mysterious Aes Sedai who use and manipulate the One Power, a source of magic, to benefit their ends. The Aes Sedai will not use the Power as a weapon and they always speak the truth. But the truth is not always what it seems to mean.
The fight is ultimately against the Dark One who was imprisoned by the Creator at the beginning of time. The Dark One does have agents out in the world - Shadowspawn, evil Aes Sedai and Darkfriends.
This is a compelling series of books and once I started the first book I haven't been able to stop. When I finished one book and realised I didn't have the next one I immediately went straight out and bought the next 3 so that it wouldn't happen again.
Intriguing and compelling - pick one up and you'll be hooked like me!
