Celia S. Friedman's Coldfire Trilogy is a rather dark but brilliant series about a planet (which I guess technically makes it sci-fi, but in practice it's fantasy) dominated by the "fae", the local magic that is found everywhere in nature, but particularly in places where forces of nature are very strong, like oceans or volcanoes. Since "fae" and technology don't coexist very well, the society has quickly regressed to a medieval one, and one of the main characters is a kind of warrior-priest, or a member of a knight order if you will, who is also trained in the use of the magic flows. It's the other protagonist who is most remarkable, though, as he is rather evil by any standard, and one of the best anti-heroes in fantasy.


This series is a great one, especially the first two novels. It is also odd in that it has a basis of a Sci-fi story, but it really is a fantasy story.
