It should be some highly-regarded very well received work of fantasy, maybe even award winning. I might have heard about this book in a context of a TV adaptation.

I know it's not a lot to go by, I'm suspecting it's The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan, but I could be wrong.
What you are describing sounds very much like the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. There is a thieves guild in Ank-Morpork.
