2001 - Soldiers Live by Glen Cook. A noir fantasy, #9 of the Black Company but can be read stand alone.

2003 - Swordspoint by Ellen Kushner. A melodrama of manners.

2005 - Devices and Desires by K. J. Parker. A "hero" takes up arms against his enemies, #1 in the Engineer Trilogy.

2009 - The Adamantine Palace by Stephen Deas. A hardboiled dragon fantasy (2009 in the UK, 2010 in the US).

2010 - Under Heaven by Guy Gavriel Kay. One of my favorite authors, this one evokes eighth-century China.

EDIT: Swordspoint was originally published in 1987 and reissued in 2003. It is well worth reading in any case.
