Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game" was the first to pop into my mind. Card did another series (The Maker Series) which is another great one. There is a Korean Historical Drama called "Jumong" that I would have to choose as well.

Side note: I suggest re-evaluating your view on the misuse of 'epic'. The common meaning has certainly expanded. Third definition from Urban Dictionary: "Being unusually large, powerful or wonderful. On a grander scale than the modified word would otherwise imply."

The cool thing about language is there is no 'correct', just consensus. It keeps evolving.

Good point.

I also liked the "Maker" series - I only read the first two (7th son and red prophet, I think?)
