I'm currently reading Elizabeth Moon's latest fantasy series, Paladin's Legacy, which begins with "Oath of Fealty": http://www.amazon.com/Oath-Fealty-Le...0DST45WGS6ZZG0

There are currently four books which have been released. The final book, "Crown of Renewal", is scheduled for release in late May 2014. This series is a sequel to her three book Paksenarrion series written in the late '80's. This series is now available in a single omnibus edition: http://www.amazon.com/Deed-Paksenarr...1D5F5AH42MG3SN

In my opinion, the new Paladin's Legacy series is far superior to the original Paksenarrion series, but the Paksenarrion series is also good and I recommend that you read it before starting the new series, although Moon says it's not necessary to do so.

Both series are very much character-driven and are well-written and enjoyable. There's also a prequel series, "The Legacy of Gird", also available in an omnibus edition: http://www.amazon.com/Legacy-Paksena...0DST45WGS6ZZG0 . I didn't enjoy it very much and it's not ecessary to read it in order to appreciate the other two series.
