Standalone single books? Fantasy so often wants to come in series. :)
Martha Wells Death of the Necromancer is an old favorite and seems oddly obscure. N. K. Jemisin's Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, if you don't mind a good dollop of romance. You can ignore that it is a series; it isn't really. Walter Wangerin's Book of the Dun Cow, something like Watership Down crossed with Narnia. Guy Gavriel Kay's Tigana.
(If first books of series count, add Name of the Wind and Mistborn and The Dragon's Path or A Shadow in Summer. But Name of the Wind and Dragon's Path are unfinished series, if that matters; Mistborn and Shadow in Summer are finished.)
(Oops. Which others of these have you already read?)
