Oh, and if you don't know about The Twelve Kingdoms by Fuyumi Ono, I STRONGLY advise you to try it out! :D
I own the whole thing (watched the anime and then bought all the novels afterward), it's a Fantasy novel too and it's beyond words really(the anime is a masterpiece too btw).
It starts off with Yoko Nakajima discovering she is the queen of the kingdom of Kei (I'm REALLY resuming here...) and from that point on, her path to become a worthy queen, politics, wars/rebellions, the bonds/relations with others countries, and then we also have whole novels dedicated to the monarchs of the others kingdoms (no, NOT all of them, they focus on some of them...) and so on. It's a world with magic in which the rulers are chosen by Kirin, mythological beasts born on the sacred Mt Hou which is located in the 'middle' of that world. There are also extended stories about some of the Kirin, totally awesome :D
Well, I'm no good at resuming things and there is just far too much material, so don't judge it on my post aha~
