Stonefather - novela by Orson Scott Card is the prelude to a forthcoming fantasy saga: Mithermages. A very enjoyable read that reminds me of some of his earlier fantasy work. It is a bit expensive, waiting for a paperback or Kindle release may make sense.

Empire by Orson Scott Card. "The American Empire has grown too fast, and the fault lines at home are stressed to the breaking point. The war of words between Right and Left has collapsed into a shooting war, though most people just want to be left alone. The battle rages between the high-technology weapons on one side and militia foot soldiers on the other, devastating the cities and overrunning the countryside. But the vast majority, who only want the killing to stop and the nation to return to more peaceful days, have technology, weapons, and strategic geniuses of their own."
