The Path of Daggers (abbreviated as tPoD by fans) is the eighth book of The Wheel of Time fantasy series written by American author Robert Jordan.
The title of the book is a reference to a Seanchan saying: "On the heights, all paths are paved with daggers."

Chasing Ghosts

What if everything you knew about your past was wrong? What if who you thought you were was all a lie? In CHASING GHOSTS Dagger comes face-to-face with his past in the form of an intruder who first wants to hire him, then tries to kill him. What prompted this response? The answer lies in a series of numbers which triggers Dagger's memory and leads him to a remote city...one mile below the surface, technologically advanced yet abandoned. Or is it? 

Dramatizing the political battles in Rome during the height of the Pax Romanum, Shakespeare pits Caesar against an untold number of conspirators and lets the daggers fly. Antony comes in at the end to clean up the mess and carry on the rule of the Caesars.
