This is an auction for PATH OF DAGGERS by Robert Jordan.

Book Eight of The Wheel of Time.

"More compact than some previous volumes in the saga, this one has the virtues readers have come to expect from the author: meticulous world-building; deft use of multiple viewpoints; highly original and intelligent systems of magic; an admirable wit; and a continuous awareness of the fate of the turnip farmer or peddler caught in the path of the heroes' armies. Unlike some authors of megasagas, Jordan chooses his words with care, creating people and events that have earned him an enormous readership. For sheer imagination and storytelling skill, if not quite for mythic resonance, The Wheel of Time now rivals Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings."

Amazon.com review:

"Most bards are of the thought that there are few types of stories but infinite room for variations, among them the Heroes Journey is one of the most alluring. In this volume of the epic weaving of the ever turning wheel the Hero learns not all is as it seems, Jordan captures the mind with his vivid accounts of the many players personal journey to their self appointed destiny while showing fate's humor, the fallacy of relying on obscure prophecy and the sacrifices made while hinting at the new obstacles and enemies to come..."
