Sharon Shinn's Mystic and Rider
I’m rereading this series bc chilly days call for fantasy novels, and also bc I never actually read the fifth book (I think it focuses on a secondary character) but I’ve seen it mentioned positively a few times recently. Anyway, this first one does a good job of introducing the world and the characters, a small band made up of a few people with magical abilities and a couple of the king's elite guard. They’re on a mission across the country to investigate rumors of rebellion—and growing hatred for magic. I do like political intrigue and this also has a sweet slow-building romance. But the friendships are the best part.
