I just posted this to a fantasy forum I don't think I can actually post to, but in case it worked, please forgive me for the cross-posting.
I work in a library, but I don't buy the books. Lately, it seems like all the fantasy we are buying are edgy urban fantasies (with required belly shirt on cover, or long black coat, or both) and vampire or zombie books. I am sure they do a lively business, but I don't want to read them. When I asked our buyers for some nice old-fashioned fantasy, they challenged me to find some. My office mate and I have tried a lot of fantasy book sites and are coming up dry. So I am turning to the collective brain. It is shaping up to be a good Young Adult Fantasy year--but not such a good one for Adults. Since I am the one asking, I like male protagonists and likable, well developed characters and no elves or werewolves or gods or the like. Any suggestions?

Hello! I saw the other post!
I am still not sure what you mean by old fashioned fantasy. On the other post you also said you didn't want elves or werewolves or gods and stuff like that. No werewolves is fine, but a lot of older fantasy does have elves and dwarfs and gods.
Anyway, I will repeat what I posted on the other thread.
Shadow Prowler by Alexey Pehov. This came out in February of this year and was translated from Russian. There is a thief and darkness and armies, too, I think.
The Conqueror's Shadow by Ari Marmell. Also came out this February. Sword and Sorcery novel
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin. Also came out this February to pretty good reviews. Epic fantasy, I think, seems to have lots of political intrigue.
The Spirit Lens by Carol Berg.
The Adamantine Palace by Stephen Deas. dragons and political intrigue.
Spellwright by Blake Charlton
than there are the long running series with books due out this year and later: Malazan series by Steven Erikson, Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin, Riyria Revelations series by Michael J. Sullivan; Saga of Recluce by L. E. Modesitt Jr.
I am pretty sure most of these have no elves, but I make no guarantees about god.
