I've been avidly re-reading Robin Hobbs's trilogy that starts with "Assassin's Apprentice". Loved it the first time, and loved it the second time too! And then followed it with the Tawny Man trilogy which continues the two main characters's lives; first book is "Fool's Errand". And I'm now in the not-yet-completed trilogy (2 books written so far), named the Fitz and the Fool trilogy.
The hero could rise to power, but prefers to remain as a hidden force behind the throne ... But it's really good, and might strike your fancy.
