Currently reading Soldier Son Trilogy by Robin Hobb my favorite author.

Her latest installment is about a young soldiers son who is dead set on following his career path and the path chosen by his good god but when fate deals its blow he is wound up between the ancient magics of the Speck people who are the current enemies of his people, the magic of the plainspeople who are a wild race that have been settled by his people but for how long no one knows and of course the subtle magic of his own people. He doesn't know which way fate will take him but with the help from his best friend and his cousin who happens to be a medium will he choose that of his King or the wild of the magic.
