That means there (is usually) no band of heroes facing off against dark lords that seek to destroy the world, but rather a lone hero on a personal quest of some sort.
Warriors Within by Janine De Tillio Cammarata fits this definition somewhat. The focal hero character goes on personal quests encountering immediate danger and Sword & Sorcery is present.

The story takes place between different overlapping time eras, 3rd Century Celtic Ireland and 21st Century New York City. That may not meet standard 'Fantasy' definitions.

Warriors Within is the first book of a planned trilogy. So far the first two installments have been released.

I found Warriors Within to be a very fast read. Arguably, it can be classified as 'Young Adult'. Although not too complex and at times predictable, for me it was enjoyable and decent for a debut novel.
