Fortress Draconis

This High Fantasy series has gone under the radar for some reason. It's fantasy in the classic epic tradition. A band of heroes strives against an all-powerful sorceress. The most prominent feature in this four-book saga is its graphic violence. These books are full of blood--too much in fact. After a while, the constant fighting becomes wearisome. Still, if you are looking for some epic fantasy that's heavy on the action, and has above-average characterization, give this saga a shot. I found this series much better than average and perhaps underrated.

If you like the Dragon Crow War, definitely read the prequel book: When Dragons Rage. If you like the epic tradition of the Dragon Crown War, you'll love Robert Jordan's A Wheel of Time, which is a very entertaining (but so much longer) series.
