This book is well-written, though a little confusing at the beginning.  It's not high fantasy, but pretty close.  The main character, Aren, is a bloodmage.

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this book, which isn't surprising considering the author.  It was fun to read about the hob as a good guy taking care of the nasties (wildlings).  Too bad this is a stand alone book, I could see it going further.]]></body>
