Baker, Keith -- The Shattered Land (The Dreaming Dark, book 2)

Baker, Keith -- The Gates of Night (The Dreaming Dark, book 3)

The first book in this series was pretty generic D&D fiction (albeit in a D&D milieu that Baker invented himself). By the second book he's figured out what story he wants to tell about his characters, so what comes out is respectable fantasy. There are some excellent world-building moments, too. I hope he turns to writing non-tied-in fantasy.
