12 Kingdoms
The Japanese writer, Fuyumi Ono has written some marvelous fantasies set in her imagined world of "The 12 Kingdoms". They have been made into an anime series under that name. There are some significant differences between the anime series and the novels. The novels have a greater psychological depth and the characters are better developed. The series includes some additional characters and is quite fast-paced. The four novels in the sequence which have so far been published in English are:
Sea of Shadow
Sea of Wind
The Vast Spread of the Seas
Skies of Dawn
The books are available through Amazon, but I'm not aware of any e-book versions.
