I recently read Snakewood by Adrian Selby, which I liked a lot. I think it would count as grimdark. It has that brutality and amorality, and you don't really sympathise with most of the people on either side, while also being able to understand how they got there. It's about a group of mercenaries in a world where soldiers make heavy use of "plant" - performance-enhancing drugs and poisons - so your druids ("drudha") are among most important people on your team.
It seems there are two more books in the same world, which I'll have to look into.
