The latest series i have stumbled across (with the help from Bax) is the sword of truth series. For fans of the Wheel Of time series, then this series is a must.
I have read the first 4 books and i would say this is just as good as WoT.
My boxed set have just arrived from the US via amazon.com and i am ready to put my train time to good use.
This is what the wiki has to say about the series...
"The Sword of Truth is an epic fantasy series featuring a vast cast of unique characters. The main character is a young man named Richard Cypher, a simple woods guide who lends a hand to a stranger seeking a nameless Wizard who left his land many years ago. Over the course of the series, Richard learns about his heritage while seeking to stop the evil that others would unleash upon the world of the living. By refusing to sacrifice his values and living his life as a free man, others begin to understand the nobility of man and what it means to be free. Each book is loosely themed around a Wizard's Rule, tenets by which all wizards should abide."
